The term Middle East was popularized around 1900 in the United Kingdom; it has a definition traditionally encompassing countries or regions in Western Asia and parts of North Africa.

Throughout its history the Middle East has been a major center of world affairs. The Middle East generally has an arid and hot climate, with several major rivers providing for irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas.

The Middle East is well-known for its luxurious hotels, like the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi and The Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai. Modern countries like Qatar are developing even more luxury hotels and resorts.
