i come from Egypt, and our history is pretty humongous compared to other countries, i mean, it started thousands of years ago,
so we have to know about Pharonic and Potalimous history,then we have learn about the Islamic conquests in North Africa and Western Asia, we also have a year where we are taught world history in general, afterwards the history courses tend to be concentrated on the Arab Medievel era, with the Crusaders, Mongols on one hand and Abbasids, Zengids, Ayubids Dynasties. later on we take courses called modern history of Egypt which is the period from the Ottoman era till today.. with Napoleon's invasion to Egypt, Mohamed Ali's massacre to the Mamlukes, pan-Arabism spread to the Arab World, WW1, WW2 and the Role of the Egyptians, Egypt's Independance from Britian, Arab-Israeli Conflict ending with the 1973 war
sadly tho we don't have concentrated History courses, due to two things, the first is that the history is just too big to be educated in several years,
the other thing is that the education system in Egypt is pretty bad..
as for the rest of the Arab world, it is probably the same, with small differences, like in lebanon they teach phonecian and roman history instead of Pharonic, they teach about Lebanon's civil war, etc...
