Ancient Mecca was an oasis on the old caravan trade route that linked the Mediterranean world with South Arabia, East Africa, and South Asia. The town was located about midway between Mahrib in the south and Petra in the north, and it gradually developed by Roman and Byzantine times into an important trade and religious centre. The earliest history of Medina is obscure, though it is known that there were Jewish settlers there in pre-Christian times.
