This chapter focuses on the role of transport in trade. Beginning with the Eastern Desert, using the evidence of archives, it considers the nature and status of transporters, and the nature of their involvement in the supply of Berenike and Myos Hormos, the ports of the Red Sea. It considers the role of transport in the trade of luxuries with India and the East, and argues for a dynamic and complex economy. In the Western Desert, communication with the Nile Valley along established routes was of considerable importance, both for supply and for trade. Caravans of camels, some of considerable size, traversed these routes. The evidence of customs receipts is deployed to analyse patterns of trade and consumption in the Fayum. Finally, the supply of food and other commodities to the cities of Egypt is considered.
