Map depicting the area most conservatively known as the *Mashriq*

The Mashriq (Template:Lang-ar, also Mashreq, Mashrek) is the eastern or, less commonly, north-eastern part of the Arab world. This comprises the Arab states of Bahrain, Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq. This excludes the states of Somalia, Djibouti, and the Comoros in the Horn of Africa to the south, which are also members of the Arab League. Poetically the "place of sunrise", the name is derived from the verb sharaqa (Template:Lang-ar "to shine, illuminate, radiate" and "to rise"), referring to the east, where the sun rises.

Geography

As the word Mashriq refers to countries bounded between the Mediterranean Sea and Iran, it is the companion term to Maghreb (Template:Lang-ar), the western part of North Africa. Libya may itself be seen as bifurcated between Mashriq and Maghreb influences, with its eastern part (Cyrenaica) seen as linked more to Egypt and the Mashriq.

These geographical terms date from the early Islamic expansion. This region is similar to the Bilad al-Sham and Mesopotamian regions combined. As of 2014, the Mashriq is home to 1.7% of the global population.

Cooperation

All of the countries located in the Arab Mashreq area are members of the Arab League (with the suspension of Syria), GAFTA, ICO and the United Nations. The region cooperates in several projects including the Arab Mashreq International Road Network and the Arab Mashreq International Railway. Several nations are also members in the GCC and others have tried unity before, such as United Arab Republic in the 60's and 70's.
