middle east is a part of what continent? this was the latest question i asked during a forum as i asked regarding medical commission but i realized that there are some points when the topic goes to the continent... normally, when we say Asian people, it first come into my mind those faces with little eyes, small in height in majority & commonly in fair and not hairy complexion... correct me but i am not really aware of how and what a definite Asian looks like....

In my company, which is a multinational company operating all over the world, we have MEA = Middle East and Asia, but Neither my company names or IATA names matter.

I'm talking about the geographic region, which includes Turkey & Cyprus from Europe, and Egypt from Africa, in addition to the other south west asian countires.

Asia, Africa and Europe.

If you see my first post in this discussion it says it is in Asia. But here some people say that even EGYPT also comes under Middle East then how can it be Asia????

Even if you school and even if you google it you cannot find some answers.

As I told in my ealier thread if EGYPT is in Middle East then Middle East is a comination for Asia, Africa and Europe(Turkey).

Ohh my!!!! Knickers in a twist for soooo long? If you have ever been to school and ever learned a thing called 'proverbs' it is damn easy to understand some expressions. Saying anything above 100% is just an expression to show how much you are sure about certain thing.

Well, proverbs are above elementary level....

israelians do not need to open visa prior to coming to UK, unlike russinas who DO have to open Visa first (and might be refused)... may be israelians get visa upon arrival similar to qatari procudure for UK, USA, Canada and Australia.. that's i am not sure... but Israel politically considered as a european country that's for sure...

..and there is nothing to argue about it.

there are 6 Continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, America (North and South). Sometimes they consider America as 2 continents (North America and South America).. but it depends on certain vision.

Middle East (including Qatar) is in continent named ASIA.

It's funny how some people don't know the basic things from the elementary school...

well.. this is another issue, that some coupntries want to be included in European Union. One of these countries is Israel. Israel POLITICALLY consedered as a european country, but GEOGRAPHICALLY it is still located in Asia, or to be more specific, in the Middle East.

now you can do additional characteristics for ASIAN people like....hairy body skin(male); big eyes; long and thick and curly eyelashes; white skins; tall noses; heights and weights,,,and what else? can we define noe the tipikal characteristic of an ASIAN?

The Middle East is a historical and political region of Afro-Eurasia with no clear boundaries. The term "Middle East" was popularized around 1900 in the United Kingdom; it has a loose definition traditionally encompassing countries or regions in Western Asia and parts of North Africa. The region is only EAST from the perspective of Europe. To an Indian, it lies to the west; to a Russian, it lies to the south.
