Answer:

Ancient Nubian cultures were sophisticated and cosmopolitan, as the region served as a major trading center for goods from the African interior, Arabian desert, and Mediterranean basin. From sub-Saharan Africa, Nubian communities traded gold, ivory, ebony, and animal pelts.

It was an ideal center for trade because it was along the Nile River and near overland trade routes.
