The Middle East is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia, Turkey (both Asian and European), and Egypt (which is mostly in North Africa). There is not a standard definition of what constitutes the Middle East. Some definitions may include (or exclude): Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the 5 stans (Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan). Some defintions include a few more north African countries. The question will ask about an area highlighted on the map. Type in your answer. Spelling counts, but accents are not required and are not marked as incorrect. There may be locations where more than one answer is acceptable.
Small areas that might be hard to see are circled in red, as in the image below. |

Highly recommended: A very good discussion of what the Middle East is (and is not) can be found on the Teach Mideast website
