What land is the Middle East made up of?

The land referred to as the Middle East is a bit loose, depends on the person talking and the historical period.

Basically it includes modern Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, The Palestinian areas (lets not fight about what to call them)

It is often taken to include the whole "Arabian Peninsula" (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman and Yeman, Qatar) and the "Near East" countries of Iraq, Iran and Kuwait.

Some times Eygpt and Turkey also get included although Eygpt is normally in North Africa and Turkey is often claimed to be in Europe.
