The trade conducted across the Red Sea between the Arabian Peninsula and the African continent is known to have flourished from the middle of the tenth until the late fifteenth century, at which time the Portuguese began making inroads into the Indian Ocean. The research to date on the Red Sea trade has considered it from such different viewpoints as the merchants involved, modes of trade and trade routes; however, the articles of trade, a subject of vital importance in any examination of trade, have not been adequately examined. Consequently, in this article the author considers the Red Sea trade during the thirteenth century by examining the goods that were exported from Egypt to Yemen at that time.The discussion is based on Nūr al-Maʻārif fī Nuẓum wa Qawānīn wa Aʻrāf al Yaman fī al-ʻAhd al- Muẓaffarī al-Wārif, a collection of documents pertaining to tax administration compiled during the reign of the second Rasūlid sultan, a1-Muẓaffar Yūsuf b. ʻUmar (r. 647-94/1249-95), analyzing a section entitled “Goods arriving from the regions of Egypt,” containing documents relating to the customs house at the port of ʻAdan, listing in great detail the numerous goods that were being brought to Yemen from Egypt at the time and clarifying a number of points in connection with the classification of goods, kinds of goods (extiles and non-textiles), the localities where they were produced, from where they were shipped, distribution routes, and the maritime merchants who were involved.

Yemen is the southern region in the Arabian Peninsula. The Rasulids [626-858/1229-1454] was one of the flourished dynasties in Medieval Yemen. They succeeded in gaining control of most Yemen, from Hadramawt to Makka. In their realm Zabid was the central city which situated on the Tihama facing the Red Sea. A number of Madrasas were constructed by them in Zabid as well as in many other towns and villages. These Madrasas were built and maintained through waqf allocation. The ‘ulama’ in Yemen gathered on Zabid to study Islamic sciences. Their construction of Madrasas has two purposes. First, they wanted to show their legitimacy to subject Yemen to their rule. Secondly, they aimed to expand their own Sunni authority against the Zaydi shi'is, who were throughout the northern Yemen.
