The ancient silk route was an over-land trade route from the middle-east to China. The disadvantages were the length of travel time as well as the great expense, due to the large number of pack animals (i.e camels) required, supplies for said animals as well as people, and losses to raiders and weather conditions (sand storms, drought, etc.). Another disadvantage (to the Europeans) was that silk route trade was jealously guarded (and understandably so) by the Arab merchants.
