Middle East

The Middle East is a region in Western Asia and North Africa consisting of the Arabian Peninsula (Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen), Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Palestine and Northern Cyprus. Overall, the region consists of mostly desert, though it does have mountains, marshes, and grasslands. It boasts a Mediterranean climate, having very dry summers.
This region of Earth is widely considered to be the birthplace of human civilization, having been home to Mesopotamia in modern Iraq. It is also extremely important to the main three Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, as all originate from the Middle East and many of the locations and events depicted in their holy books took place within or around the region.
