Description

This unit teaches pupils about the physical and human geography of the Middle East and demonstrates the diversity of people's lives across the region. Pupils will investigate how natural resources affect the economy of the region and study how climate change is shaping its future.

Studying the Middle East at this stage of the curriculum allows pupils to draw on their knowledge of development, population and natural resources to help make sense of this complex region and its interconnections with the rest of the world. Later in the unit pupils will draw on their knowledge of cities to focus on how and why Dubai has developed over time as a global city.
