The Incense Route

Description

From South Arabia to Rome, there once was a trade route that facilitated cultural exchange among various ethnicities and religions. The extensive trade passed through the deserts and mountains of Arabia to the Mediterranean and required a complex system of logistics and exchange. We embark on a journey of discovery along the Incense Route, focusing primarily on regions in unknown Arabia. There will be a break from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM between the first and second parts. Course leader: Dr. Hans-Ulrich Kühn, Islamic studies scholar and expert on the Arab world, study tour leader, lecturer
