Middle Kingdom
During the Middle Kingdom, pharaohs sought to boost trade with Mediterranean coastal lands to enhance Egypt's economic wealth and political power. This expansion of trade routes facilitated the exchange of valuable resources, such as timber, metals, and luxury goods, which were scarce in Egypt. Strengthening these trade connections also helped secure diplomatic relationships and military alliances, further solidifying Egypt's influence in the region. Additionally, increased trade contributed to cultural exchange and the enrichment of Egyptian society.
Before the Middle Kingdom, ancient Egypt expanded its territory primarily into Nubia to the south and parts of the Levant to the northeast. These conquests were aimed at securing valuable resources such as gold, trade routes, and strategic military positions. Notable campaigns occurred during the Old Kingdom, with pharaohs like Sneferu and Khufu leading expeditions into these regions. Additionally, Egypt's influence extended into the Sinai Peninsula, facilitating control over trade routes and resources.
