The Middle East

I have read this book so many times in the past two years, and it is a great book about the Middle East( stretching from Egypt to Iran and from Turkey to Oman and Yemen)and the book tells different interesting facts about each country for example ( In Syria, nine out of ten people are of Arab Descent and speak Arabic, while their are also Armenian and Kurdish Communities in Syria) and about how in the Gulf States, the traditional people are now being outnumbered by immigrants from other parts of Asia in places like Qatar and The United Arab Emirates.
