The countries of the modern Middle East are all part of Asia, but for clarity reasons we geographically show them here as a separate landmass.  The Greater Middle East Map includes all countries on the map to the left including Afghanistan and Pakistan, and all the other "stans," but it also includes many North African countries like Egypt, Libya and Sudan.  On this map (our map) we attempt to show the modern definition of the Middle East, but in the world of geography, there are often many answers (or personal or political opinions) to what appears to be a simple question - What is the Middle East?
