Arabian Market is an engaging business negotiation game set in the Trucial States of the 1800s, where teams compete to grow their family wealth through strategic trading and negotiation. Using Arabian-themed commodities such as dates, camels, spices, pearls, water, and money, participants must uncover what other families need through questioning, communication, and relationship-building.
As the marketplace evolves, teams negotiate deals, share information and make strategic decisions to maximise their returns. The activity highlights the importance of collaboration, effective communication, and the creation of mutually beneficial outcomes in a competitive environment.
LEARNING OUTCOMES

The activity reinforces the value of creating mutually beneficial outcomes rather than focusing solely on short-term gains. While the challenge is competitive, the most successful teams typically balance commercial objectives with collaboration, building win-win solutions that benefit everyone involved.
