Years: 676 - 819
Axum loses its maritime trade routes during and after the mid-seventh century, by which time relations with the Arabs have deteriorated to the point that Axumite and Muslim fleets raid and skirmish in the Red Sea.
This situation leads eventually to the Arab occupation of the Dahlak Islands, probably in the early eighth century and, it appears, to an attack on Adulis and the Axumite fleet.
Later, Muslims occupy Suwakin and convert the Beja people of that region to Islam.
