The Incense Roads are a set of maritime and overland roads that serve the Arab peninsula and link the countries on the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean with the Eastern Mediterranean harbours and Syria. Named after their most famous trade good: Frankincense. They remained in use from the Bronze Age to well into the Middle Ages.
