N2  - Roads of Arabia highlights the pivotal role of the Arabian Peninsula, a land of mercantile and cultural exchange since early antiquity, revealing the diversity of cultures and civilizations that, despite the challenges of their natural environment, were able to take advantage of their geographical situation, linking the shores of the Indian Ocean and the lands of the Horn of Africa to Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean. It also examines the very particular role played by Arabia from the 7th century onward, as the cradle of Islam, whose two holy cities of Medina and Mecca attracted pilgrims from all over the Muslim world.
