(the on-line tool appears to allow an itinerary that starts in Sudan to end anywhere in the Middle East - so it at least thinks Sudan is part of the Middle East - but when I did my high school geography it was regarded as part of Africa
)
More important, that OneWorld RTW description says, that:
oneworld Explorer regions are defined as:
Europe and Middle East, including Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Russia both east and west of the Urals, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Yemen.
So, there is another geography for aviation
Or, at least, it can be read this way.
