Middle East
From World travel guide
The Middle East is a world region that bridges two continents, stretching across south-western Asia and North Africa. As one of the wellsprings of human civilisation in the ancient and medieval worlds, the birthplace of at least three world religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and the focus of much modern economic and political importance, the Middle East remains a popular destination for travellers.
