Middle East

Geographically, the Middle East encompasses southwestern Asia and Egypt. As a culture, it extends far beyond these borders. These are the lands of the Hellenistic culture, extended by Alexander the Great to India. The lands of the Byzantine Empire in Asia and North Africa, cultivating Christianity to new and expansive territories. Here, three of the world’s major religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – were born and blossomed.

From ancient time to the present day, the Middle East has been represented by wealth. Golden palaces, rich agriculture, and the fine artifacts have attracted both conquerors and investors.
