Satellite view of the Middle East
May 4, 2003 - Deserts stretch across the Middle East in shades of tan, pink, and orange, while green foothills, mountains, and plains mark their edges. Turkey blooms across the northern edge of the image, as does Iran to the northeast. The Tigris (upper) and Euphrates (lower) Rivers in Iraq bring a faint wash of green to its otherwise dry desert soil (right of the image center). On the southern edge, a bright swath of orange marks Saudi Arabias Al Jawf desert, and a lonely, though large, spot of green near the Jordanian border in the west springs from the Wadi al Ghinah. Separated from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel by the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea, Egypt marks the southwestern image edge. North of Egypt, the eastern edge of the Mediterranean laps at the shores of (from south to north) Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, and Turkey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite view of the Middle East, captured on May 4,2003, showcases the diverse and captivating landscapes that define this region. From deserts stretching across vast expanses in shades of tan, pink, and orange to green foothills, mountains, and plains marking their edges - it is a true testament to the beauty of our planet. Turkey blooms across the northern edge of the image while Iran extends towards the northeast. The Tigris (upper) and Euphrates (lower) Rivers in Iraq bring a faint wash of green to an otherwise dry desert soil. On the southern edge lies Saudi Arabia's Al Jawf desert with its striking swath of orange. A solitary spot of green near Jordan's border emerges from Wadi al Ghinah. Separated by bodies of water such as the Gulf of Suez and Red Sea lie Egypt to mark the southwestern image edge. Moving northwards along Egypt's coast reveals Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, and Turkey where their shores meet with the eastern edge of Mediterranean waters. This color photograph taken from space captures not only geographical features but also provides insight into climate patterns within this arid region. It serves as a reminder that despite political boundaries or conflicts that may arise here; nature remains indifferent - painting a breathtaking canvas for all who observe it.
