The Middle East is considered to consist of the countries that lie between Africa on the west and Central Asia on the north and east. Those countries include:

Bahrain

Egypt (part of Egypt lies within the Arabian Peninsula)

Iran

Iraq

Jordan

Lebanon

Oman

Palestine

Qatar

Syria

Turkey

United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain)

Yemen

Other Arabic countries that are in Africa, such as Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco are not considered to be part of the middle east because, though Arabic and tied very much into the culture, they are confined to Africa. Likewise, countries that are primarily Muslim, but are properly part of Central Asia, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan are also not in the Middle East.
