caliphate

Generally, the 'seat of the caliphate' state has a very unfavorable environment for natural and mineral resources; and that have made its an off limits region.

The Fatimid Caliphate established it as a center of Islamic study in 970 or 972, and its students studied the Qur'an and Islamic law in depth, as well as logic, grammar, rhetoric, and how to calculate the phases of the moon.
