 The term Middle East defines a cultural area, so does not have precise borders. It is a subregion of Africa-Eurasia comprising the lands around the southern and eastern parts of the Mediterranean Sea and extending from the eastern Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. North African nations are frequently called North Africa to differentiate from the Middle Eastern Asia - Iran to Egypt - by international media. The three major cultures of the Middle East are Persian, Arabic and Turkish.

Together the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers formed the natural borders for a region that was a "cradle" for Sumer, Babylonia, and Assyria civilizations. The Greeks called the area Mesopotamia, literally "between the rivers".
The Tigres and Euphrates Rivers are part of the "Fertile Crescent", an historic Middle East region that corresponds to present-day Egypt, Israel, West Bank, Gaza strip, and Lebanon and parts of Jordan, Syria, Iraq, south-eastern Turkey and south-western Iran.
