 Middle East








During this past couple of weeks, this is probably the continent i had most interest in which is the middle east,I always dream to visit here and i hope in the future i will have the oppourtunity to go there.As the media potryed it maybe the countries are among the controversial which afflicted with endless wars,conflicts and terrorism.But there are always beauty and good sides in everything if we view it on different perspectives.The middle east is famous with its foods,rich with cultures ,arts and history and many contain places that is special for Muslims.So, this week as i will get deeper covering on the places and i will research and write as much as i can.


So from what i found out from my little reseach ,Middle East, the lands around the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Seaencompassing at least the Arabian Peninsula and, by some definitions, IranNorth Africa, and sometimes beyond. The central part of this general area was formerly called the Near East, a name given to it by some of the first modern Western geographers and historians, who tended to divide what they called the Orient into three regions. Near East applied to the region nearest Europe, extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf; Middle East, from the Persian Gulf to Southeast Asia; and Far East, those regions facing the Pacific Ocean.The change in usage began to evolve prior to World War II and tended to be confirmed during that war, when the term Middle East was given to the British military command in Egypt. By the mid-20th century a common definition of the Middle East encompassed the states or territories of TurkeyCyprusSyriaLebanonIraq, Iran, Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza StripJordan, Egypt, SudanLibya, and the various states and territories of Arabia proper (Saudi ArabiaKuwaitYemenOmanBahrainQatar, and the Trucial States, or Trucial Oman [now United Arab Emirates]). Like other articles i will writing on things to do, foods, museums ,art galleries, historical sites things to do and places to visit.
