This was probably the location of the port at Mogadishu that brought in Arab merchants around 900 A.D. This is a likely location because the land juts in slightly here, creating a harbor, and because the two oldest parts of the city are located on either side of this area. The port, which brought in Arab, Egyptian, and Persian groups was an important tool in the spread of Islam. Foreign groups of Muslims began to unite politically under nomadic Somali tribes, and against invaders from the sea, establishing a greater sense of internal peace, and, in turn, more successful trade (Encyclopedia of Islam).
