    Explanation:

    The overland routes of the Nile River and Mediterranean sea were trade routes used by merchants trading in ancient Egypt and across the middle East and Arabian nations. The ancient Egyptians traded gold, linen, copper, ebony, papyrus, grain and iron.

    Egyptian traders met traders from other civilization just beyond the mouth of the Nile River to trade goods.

    Disadvantages of the overland routes include; The route crossed a barren and really hot desert which made traveling challenging.
