Abandonware DOS title

Games set in the Middle East

Video games set in the Middle East (Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Syria, etc.) usually involve an esotic ethnic setting (like Prince of Persia or Al-Qadim, or Magic Carpet). A few flight simulations are also set in the modern day Middle East.
