The implicit assumption of the question, that the Arabian Peninsula was an ideal place for trade in 570 C.E., is actually false. The Arabian Peninsula had a statistically insignificant role in worldwide trade at the time. The majority of world trade has always taken place within and between world powers. In the mid-500s C.E., these world powers were (1) the Byzantine Empire, (2) the Sassanid Empire, and (3) Imperial China. Large empires allowed for high levels of production, safety for travelling merchants, and cosmopolitan people wealthy enough to consistently purchase foreign or distantly-produced goods. As a result, the Arabian Peninsula was removed from these vast trading regions and had a barely noticeable presence in trade.However, trade was a central part of the Arabian economy (as small as that economy was) because critical resources like grains, metals, and manufactures could only come to Arabia via trade routes.
