The merchants of Makka put together two caravans every year - one in summer and one in winter. They sent the "summer caravan" to Syria and the "winter caravan" to Yemen.
Wafanyabiashara wa Makka walituma misafara miwili kila mwaka mmoja wakati wa kiangazi ambao ulikwenda Syria na mwengine wakati wa kipupwe ambao ulipelekwa Yemen.
