Mecca's early merchant rulers established their base of power by leveraging the city's strategic location along trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula to major markets in the Mediterranean and beyond. The influx of pilgrims to the Kaaba also provided a steady source of revenue, as merchants capitalized on this traffic by offering goods and services. Additionally, the city's status as a religious center fostered a sense of unity and loyalty among its inhabitants, which the rulers could harness to maintain control and influence. This combination of economic opportunity and religious significance solidified their power in the region.
