Middle East Culture

The culture of the Middle East is a salad bowl overflowing with the various rich and colorful ways of life of the different nations composing the entire region. It shows the various languages spoken and used daily by the people of distinct areas, the different clothes or fashion, and the religion each practices.

This culture also points that for each country, despite the nearness to each other, there is a point of difference. For instance, though most clothes require women to be covered all over, some countries allow for the exposure of a part of the arm while the others do not. There is also a slight difference in beliefs especially for the countries where Islam rules are strictly imposed.

Aside from the clothes and following of rules, the culture of the Middle East also shows that there are things that Westerners actually adopted from the East. Not everything is originally Western. The spices that westerners used for their food are mostly coming from this area of the world. Moreover, the oil that the western world makes use of everyday of their life is the treasure under the fertile soil of the Middle East.

Thus, the culture of the Middle East, the cradle of Civilization, is in its own respect, the culture of the world.
