History of Middle East

Middle East is the region, which includes the Arabian Peninsula, Mesopotamia and Palestine. These territories are occupied today by Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, among other states.

The Middle East is a cultural designation for a civilization which is not only present in that region but also in a number of neighboring Muslim localities for instance Morocco, Sudan, Libya and others. ...
