Description: The largest land mass in the Middle East is the Arabian Peninsula and most of the Arabian Peninsula is covered by the Arabian Desert. The Arabian desert is the fourth largest desert in the world. Though it is a harsh climate, Arab traders traveled across the desert on camels to cities that formed near oases like Mecca and Medina. An oasis is a source of water in a desert.

Description: The Nile River, which runs from south to north through modern-day Sudan and Egypt, is one of the longest rivers in the world. The fertile land on its banks gave birth to Ancient Egypt and was a center of trade and learning throughout the ancient, classical, and postclassical periods. During the classical era, the Greeks conquered Egypt and then the Romans did the same. The Nile River Valley was also an important economic and cultural region during the postclassical era. In addition, the Nile River served as a valuable route for traveling and transportation into the African continent.

Question: Why might a post classical civilization want to conquer Egypt and the Nile River Valley?
