Mecca.
The Quraysh made Mecca the most prosperous trade center by leveraging its strategic location along vital trade routes connecting the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean and beyond. They established a system of trade caravans that traveled regularly, fostering trade relationships with various regions. Additionally, the Quraysh capitalized on the religious significance of the Kaaba, attracting pilgrims and traders alike, which boosted the local economy and solidified Mecca's status as a commercial hub. Their control over trade and the influx of wealth from both commerce and pilgrimage contributed significantly to the prosperity of the city.
The Songhai Empire's economy was primarily based on trade, agriculture, and the trans-Saharan trade routes. It thrived on the exchange of gold, salt, and other goods, with cities like Timbuktu and Gao serving as major trading hubs. Agriculture also played a crucial role, with farmers cultivating crops along the Niger River. Additionally, the empire benefited from controlling trade routes, facilitating commerce between West Africa and North Africa, and beyond.

These factors, along with a vast internal market and infrastructure development, propelled the nation to economic dominance by the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
