The Arabian Peninsula's location is ideal for a trading center because it is surrounded by water. Other countries could send ships to trade goods with the Arab people.
hope this helps! :D

∙ 9y agoGenerally speaking, the Arabian Peninsula was unimportant for international trade routes. Most trade in the Middle East occurred along the Mediterranean Coast (Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine), or the major rivers (Nile in Egypt, Tigris & Euphrates in Iraq). The Arabian Peninsula was the regional backwater.
However, most Arabians engaged in local trade or trade exclusively with neighboring city-states or small countris. This was because local resources could not satisfy local needs and the Settled Arabs had different relative production values to the Bedouins.

Why was the Arabian peninsula an ideal place for trade in A.D. 570?
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.
What is the importance of the Korean peninsula's geographic location?
The Korean Peninsula is quite important because of where it is it is located between China and Japan. So if something is being shipped from Japan to China or from China to Japan (i.e. products and goods) it is possible for Korea to stop anything from getting there.

Why did people live nomadic life on the Arabian peninsula?
The Arabian Peninsula is largely arid desert. There are a few oasis areas but just not enough fertile farmlands are available to allow for a agriculture based way of sustenance. Without a farm to raise food, people use animals a main food source. Feeding animals requires grazing. The rainfall patterns on the Arabian Peninsula dictate the pattern of nomadic life. (This is very similar to the way that the indigenous peoples of the America's followed the buffalo.) The oasis areas,where people have settled to farm, are where the nomads trade animal and goods for grain, vegetables or other agricultural goods. Time and season dictate the pattern the nomads will follow each year.
