This question is overbroad. In the 7000 years of civilization in the Middle East, almost everything about society, culture, religion, technology, self-perception, government styles, etc. has changed. Please resubmit with a timeframe to narrow the answer.

It is too small to be a continent, but it still retains a unique culture and lifestyle that tipify its inhabitants but differ from those of other nearby regions.

To ensure that Middle Eastern leaders would continue supplying them with oil

Nile River, The Tigris River, and the Euphrates River.

The four largest rivers are the Tigris, Euphrates, Nile, and Jordan.

Technically, Iraq is in Asia, so Iraqis would be considered Asian. However, the term "Asian" in most Anglophone countries is used to refer to people from East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, etc.), so Iraqis would be considered Middle Eastern, not Asian, since Iraq is in the Middle East, not East Asia.

Q: Is Egypt dry?

A: It is arid. This means that it is dry. Not necessarily hot or cold, but just dry. It also hardly rains and the only way to get water is from cactuses.

However, there are places in Egypt along the Nile or close to the Mediterranean Sea (like Alexandria) where it is very humid, even though it still does not rain often.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) (Arabic: دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة, transliteration: Dowlat Al-Imārāt al-'Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah) is a Middle Eastern federation of seven states situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The seven states, termed emirates, are Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. The UAE, rich in oil and natural gas, has become highly prosperous after gaining foreign direct investment funding in the 1970s. The country has a relatively high Human Development Index for the Asian continent and ranked 39th globally. Before 1971, the UAE were known as the Trucial States or Trucial Oman, in reference to a nineteenth-century truce between Britain and several Arab Sheikhs. The name Pirate Coast was also used in reference to the area's emirates in the 18th to early 20th century

The Five Regions of the Middle East include

1. The Maghreb - This is a desert area that runs along the north of Africa

2. The Northern Tier - This is a mountainous plateau area that runs along Turkey through northern Iraq into Iran.

3. The Fertile Crescent - This area has fertile soil for growing crops and is generally a plain

4. The Nile Valley - This area also has fertile soil for growing crops and is mostly a plain or semi-arid desert

5. The Arabian Peninsula - This area is mostly made up of large stretches of desert and makes up the modern countries of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman to name a few.

Israel is the only nation in the Middle East known to have nuclear weapons.

I suppose it would be the Dead Sea. It is a salt lake in the middle of Jordan and Israel. It is not a sea as its name suggest, but rather just a lake.

It has a salinity of 33.7%, which in fact is 8 times as salty as normal sea water. As a result of its salinity, no animals or plants can grow near it, hence giving it the name "Dead sea".

Yes. There are prostitutes in most Middle Eastern countries. The city of Dubai is known to have many. Most prostitutes though are not Middle Eastern but are from Russia, Eastern Europe, or South East Asia. Many end up in the Middle East as the result of human trafficking and live in terrible conditions.

See this link for a documentary on prostitution in Dubai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fC7KDY4sqE

Israel was created in 1948 from the British Mandate of Palestine.

They were treated very poorly and shared little rights, but on occasion were allowed to participate in government and business. They could also own property and slaves.
