One of the learning outcomes stated in the syllabus is for you to “locate significant geographic features of regions of the world and describe their cultural, economic, political, and physical characteristics.”
Geography consists of two main branches: physical geography and human geography. This assignment, which is about the cultural aspects of countries in the Middle East and North Africa, is related to human geography . Countries, which are part of larger areas defined by humans as regions, are “significant geographic features of regions of the world.”
