How does the geography of the middle east affect life, meaning people, there?

While I have never been to the Middle East I will imagine that just as any culture their geography does affect life and meaning . The geography of the Middle East is described as being large and diverse, located in southwest Asia and northeast Africa. It extends over 2000 miles from the Black sea in the north to the Arabian Sea in the South, and about 1000 miles from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the mountains of Iran.

Specifically the geography affects the land by there appearing to be a lot of land and natural habitation ( compared to America). The Middle East is known to have the best soil, making their land great for mining, fuel, and gas. I am sure Middle Eastern people benefit from this. Transportation there also appears to be more on foot or by animals such as camels compared to America.
