Trade routes connected Phenicia with Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Yes, the lands of Phenicia were practically between them. Phenicia itself occupied the territory of the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea south of the Lebanese mountains. The land here was not fertile, but there were many forests. Thus, the Phoenicians were engaged in shipbuilding. Developed shipbuilding enabled the Phoenicians to actively engage in navigation and trade. Very soon, large trade routes passed through Phenicia, which connected Egypt and Mesopotamia.
