The Trans-Saharan trade routes facilitated the exchange of valuable goods such as gold, salt, ivory, and slaves between North Africa and West Africa.
In the 1500's many goods were traded such as, kola nuts, gold and slaves. These goods were exchanged for textiles, horses, salt and luxury goods. The people who traded these goods were mainly farmers, but when the slaves were sold, they were sold by the people who ran the slave trade.
Goods are physical objects that can be exchanged.
Timbuktu was a crucial hub for trade in the trans-Saharan trade network, where important goods such as gold, salt, ivory, and textiles were exchanged. Gold, particularly, was highly sought after, driving economic activity in the region. Salt, essential for preservation and nutrition, was also a key commodity, often traded in large quantities. Additionally, the city facilitated the exchange of scholarly goods, including manuscripts and knowledge, contributing to its reputation as a center of learning.
