We wish start with the definition of caravan. A caravan is a group of travelers or merchants banded together and organized for joint keep and protection piece traveling through unsettled or unfriendly country. Caravan trade, however, is associated with the history of the Middle East as far back as the records of ancient civilizations extend. The caravan trade was really well developed before the idea of sea commerce was ever considered.
The history of the caravan trades folk has shown how well organized these groups of folk were. The caravans crossed great distances across the unsettled desert trails, with little or no protection from the local governments.
The main modes of transportation were camels throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Camels could withstand the desert heat, and go many
days without water,
The caravans were fundamental for the trade industry to prosper. The caravans worked under the regulation of the Arabian Empire. The Empire controlled their routes and tried to afford them several protection.
After the introduction of the motor truck and the airplane, the hardship of crossing the desert on foot or on came, has evolved to drive the truck to the marketplace to sell your goods. This is evident once
you go to the insect markets of today, there are many
vendors (what could have been called merchandiser caravans in middle east history) that travel from town to town delivery there goods to sell, trade or barter.
Webster's lexicon defines caravan as: “a institution of travelers on a journey through desert or hostile regions”, “a group of vehicles traveling together in a file”, and “a covered wagon or motor vehicle equipped as traveling living quarters”. As you can see by this definition, the term caravan has evolved into the Twenty-first century. Simply look about and you wish see motor house caravans, semi-truck caravans, motorcycle caravans, all of these groups are traveling from one destination to another.
So hop in your Dodge Caravan and go for a ride. How more merchandise can you fit into it? Gather up several friends that have a Dodge Caravan and you could be caravan (a group of travelers on a journey).
