The Spice Route [aka Incense Route] extended across the vast expanse of Asia. This 1,500 mile long route started in Oman and Yemen, crossed Saudi Arabia and Jordan, went through the Israeli Negev, and ended at the port of Gaza. It linked the
eastern countries with those in the west including Europe and Egypt.
Along the way were forts, caravansaries, springs, cisterns and many cities, including the fortress city of Avdat.
Camel caravans bearing frankincense and myrrh, spices, incense, silk, linen, cotton, woolen cloth, precious metals, and other merchandise made use of this route for over 700 years.
