The Middle East technically stretches across two continents, Africa and Asia.  It is located primarily in Western Asia but also in the Northeast of Africa.  In the United States, we often consider Afghanistan and Pakistan to be within the “Middle East.”  This was not always the case however, and is a more recent occurrence.  You will find the flags of these two countries within this category however; as we find people have begun to commonly associate them with the region.  It has historically been a culturally and religiously sensitive region, and many areas of it are still turbulent to this day.  Show your pride and support for your favorite Middle East countries with one of these beautiful flags from Flag Outpost.
