The
Middle East generally has an arid and hot climate, with several major rivers
providing for irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas. Many
countries located around the Persian Gulf have large quantities of crude
oil. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically,
politically, culturally, and religiously sensitive region. |
