Detailed explanation-1: -These are Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. These countries are located primarily in Western Asia, Egypt is in North Africa, and a part of Turkey lies in Southeast Europe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Middle East is part of the Asian continent. Some of the nations influential to the Middle East include nations like Egypt which is in Africa, but the major players in the Middle East are Asian nations like Saudia Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Over time, it has come to describe the region stretching from Egypt and Sudan in Africa to Turkey in the north to Iran. Oddly, in Asia, what we call the “Middle East” is called “Western Asia.” If you look at a map, that makes sense.
