The Mashriq, alternatively spelled Mashreq or Mashrek and also called the Arab Mashriq, is a term used by Arabs to denote the eastern half of the Arab world—that is, every Arab country in West Asia and Egypt and Sudan in North Africa. It is juxtaposed with the Maghreb, which is the western half of the Arab world, consisting of every Arab country between the North Atlantic and Egypt and Sudan. It is poetically referred to as the "Place of Sunrise" per the name's derivation from the verb sharaqa,
