Answer 1

The Indian Ocean trade significantly enriched East African culture by fostering the exchange of goods, languages, and religious beliefs, leading to the development of a vibrant Swahili culture that blended African, Arab, and Asian influences. This cultural intermingling is evident in East African architecture, cuisine, and the widespread adoption of Islam as a major religion in the region.
