Information about the Middle East
The term 'Middle East' has a loose definition traditionally encompassing
countries in Western Asia and parts of North Africa. The modern definition
of the region includes: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait,
Lebanon, Oman, the Palestinian territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
The Middle East is home to numerous ethnic groups, including Arabs, Turks,
Persians, Jews, Armenians, Georgians, Egyptians, Kurds, Greeks, Assyrians,
Azeris, Circassians, Berbers, Nubians, Samaritans, and Turkmens. The
languages spoken are just as diverse. Arabic in its numerous varieties and
Persian are most widely spoken in the region. Other languages spoken in the
region include Armenian, Syriac, Azeri, Berber languages, Circassian,
Persian, Georgian, Gilaki and Mazandarani languages, Hebrew, Kurdish, Luri,
Turkish, Greek. English is also spoken, especially among the middle and
upper class, in countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Iraq and Kuwait.
French is spoken in Algeria, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, and Egypt.
Urdu and other South Asian languages are spoken in many Middle Eastern
countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Qatar, which have
large numbers of South Asian immigrants.
The Middle East is very diverse when it comes to religions, most of which
originated there. Islam in its many forms is by far the largest religion in
the Middle East, but other faiths, such as Judaism and Christianity, are
also important.
Eco tours in the Middle East
Ecotourism is the practice of touring places with respect to the natural
and human environment, learning from different sites and cultures. The Middle East is primarily arid and semi-arid consisting of grasslands,
rangelands, and deserts. Major rivers, including the Nile and the Euphrates,
provide sources for irrigation water to support agriculture. Although mainly
low-lying, portions of Turkey, Iran, and Yemen include mountainous terrain.
Most of the fauna found in the Middle East is dessert dwelling, such as the
jackal, mongoose, raven, and monitor lizard. The plants to be found are
accustomed to scarce water, including the jojoba plant and sycamore trees.
The Middle East is also rich in cultural heritage due to its ancient
civilisations, diverse ethnic groups and languages, as well as the
birthplace of Islam, Judaism and Christianity. The art and architecture in
particular are spectacular, such as Islamic architecture with its features
of calligraphic ornamentation and mosaics. |
