Abstract

The academic article examines the pivotal role played by the Arabian Gulf ports in fostering the prosperity of commercial activities in the region during the Abbasid era. Through this role, these ports were able to reclaim their historical significance, reminiscent of the ancient times of the Assyrians and Babylonians. The article also underscores that the activities of the Arabian Gulf ports went beyond their function as transit centers for the transfer of goods and materials from passing ships. They actively engaged in the production of commercial goods, whether agricultural or industrial, resulting in the attraction of numerous Arab traders, craftsmen, and professionals.
