Meroe, located in present-day Sudan, thrived as a trading city largely due to its abundant Natural Resources, particularly gold, iron, and agricultural products. The region's rich deposits of gold attracted traders from various parts of Africa and beyond, while the iron resources facilitated the production of tools and weapons, enhancing both agriculture and trade. Additionally, the fertile land along the Nile allowed for the cultivation of crops, supporting a stable food supply that sustained its population and trade networks. These resources collectively positioned Meroe as a key hub in the ancient trade routes.
