Middle East
The term “Middle East” refers to a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia and parts of North Africa, historically known as the “Cradle of Civilization” for the ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian cultures that originated there. It is the birthplace of major world religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and its history has been shaped by successive empires, trade routes, and, in the modern era, geopolitical significance due to its vast energy resources. Today, it encompasses a diverse array of nations, cultures, and languages, often associated with both its rich historical heritage and contemporary political complexities.
