The Middle East refers to a geographic region that includes parts of southwestern Asia, northern Africa, and southeastern Europe. Though geographers and political scientists offer varying definitions regarding which countries constitute the region, the Middle East is generally thought to include Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Yemen. Many of the world's most widely practiced religions began in the Middle East, including Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the Bahá'í Faith.
