1396 CE to 1539 CE

The Mamluks indirectly foster relations between Europe and the Middle East even after the fall of the Byzantine Empire.

The Europeans, accustomed to luxury items from the Middle East, strongly desire both its raw materials and its manufactured products, and the people of the Middle East wish to exploit the lucrative European market.

Beirut, favored by its geographical location, becomes the center of intense trading activity.
