More or less like the rest of Africa I assume.

Byzantine + Persian Empire
Also, everybody would be Orthodox/Coptic Christian

Or Zoroastrian
praise Ahura Mazda

This mainly desu.
When the MENA region used to be unironically the most important part of Eurasia the rise of the Arabs introducing Islam threw every previous hierarchy in the trash when the power fell from the Byzantines/Persians to them and then eventually the Turks.

it would look boring
Liam Rivera
Unlikely.
They would eventually succumb to Church of The East. Then a nestorian Timur would finish zoroastrianism off as a relevent religion.
Hunter Gray
Shit
Blake Anderson

Also some North African countries (Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria) would be more tribal as Islam united a bunch of tribes together so at best it w0uld resemble modern day Saudi Arabia and at worst Afghanistan.
