Typically, but not necessarily.

The Middle East typically is bounded (inclusively) on in the West by Egypt and Turkey and in the East by Iran and includes the Levant, Mesopotamian, and Arabian Peninsula regions (in addition to those in Anatolia, Nile, and Central Persia).

However, Turkey, Israel, and Iran are not Arab countries and do not exhibit Arab customs, therefore, these nations (out of the entire Middle East) are not considered to be part of the Arab World. Conversely, the Arab World includes the countries of North Africa from Morocco in the West to Egypt in the East. The Arab World may also include (depending on whose definition is being used) the Sudan and Mauritania.

The "Middle East" is typically used, therefore, as a geographic indicator (i.e. Saudi Arabia is in the Middle East). The "Arab World" is typically used as a cultural indicator (i.e. Women have numerous Rights Issues in the Arab World).
