Why do most people in the Eastern Mediterranean live along the coast?

• The coastal climate is more moderate than that of inland desert regions, and the land there is more suitable

  for agriculture due to higher rainfall.

• The manufacturing-based industrial economy demands most people live and work near ports to facilitate

  the import and export of trade goods.

• The inland areas are too mountainous to allow transportation infrastructure necessary for urban growth.

• The service economy is primarily based on tourism, which draws most visitors to the coastal beaches.
