Hello!

FAQ: How did the Arabs survive in the desert?

Answer: Most people were nomads, meaning that they traveled from place to place due to lack of farmland. Also, settlements were found at oases, desert areas that contain water.

FAQ: Did the Muslim Empire have prosperous trade?

Answer: The Arabian peninsula was well situated for trade. It is a crossroads of three continents: Africa, Asia, and Europe. The Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Persian Gulf were all held accountable in the peninsula's growing sea trade. Market towns grew into cities and trade grew larger and larger.

*Some businesses from the ancient world are still going on today. For instance, ancient scientists discovered the process of distillation. The perfume business in Arabia is still booming today! Also, scientists found the process of luster due to a ban of highly wealthy riches amongst the Muslims. We use this mind-boggling (:D I like that word!) process today as well!

I hope I have answered your questions! :D
