Europe > North America
Naturally.
its only cause every civ should colonize
The Ottomans have recently adopted Islam as their official religion. This puts the religious policies of the Ottomans in stark contrast to fragmented, christian Europe. In order to beat back the advance of Christianity in Europe, the Ottomans now look south to unite the remnants of the old Arabian Caliphate. So far, the Ottomans have captured the Jewish holy city of Jerusalem, but to really be a premier Islamic power they must control the holy city of Mecca. It this great city on the Red Sea that is the target of the Ottomans next stage in expansion.
Very few cities in the Ottoman Empire practice Islam. So Mehmed works diligently to spread Islam to the various cities of the Balkans and Anatolia. After establishing temples and monasteries in many major cities, the Ottoman sultan orders the army of the Levant to move south and destroy the main Arabian force collecting in Mecca. A small Arabian force moves to attack Baghdad, but it is eventually repulsed by reinforcements of Janissaries in 1425. After years of siege, and losing many engineers in the cannon regiments, the Ottomans capture Mecca in 1430.
With the main army of the Arabians wiped out, the Arabian Caliphate disintegrates into anarchy. Taking advantage of this, Mehmed orders his troops to continue to march south. Meeting little resistance, the Ottomans capture Sana'a in 1475.
Using troops that had collected in Baghdad, Ottoman soldiers moved against the gulf city of Al-kuwait and captured the city in 1495.
The Empire has greatly expanded. Now, the Ottomans can rest assured that their southern border is safe from barbarians and strong Islamic rivals. Generals from the campaign were so enthralled with the recent conquests they sent back a map to the Sultan showing him the recent conquests as well as information showing the progress of proselytizing Islam throughout Ottoman lands.
The Ottomans have now proved that they are the preeminent power of the Middle East, the protector of the holy cities of Islam, and the arch enemy of the Christians of Europe. The Europeans are not happy with this recent turn of events, and they will soon look to counter Ottoman gains. The only way to prevent this is for the Ottomans to establish themselves as a great Mediterranean power, able to hold its own against the likes of Spain and France. The armies of the Sultan must continue to march down the path of war, for no one in the Ottoman Empire is safe if the Empire is weak. The Ottomans look west, and with great power and vision, they hope to reshape the Mediterranean world. But, there are new enemies lurking in the shadows of the icy lands of the north...

Well done, however i won't recommend any more arabian cities, you already have the best ones while the others suck and are red in your stability map, even in my Ottoman Empire game i had problems with that, and lol, in my game i was Catholic, could secure every border whiout problems

Basically what DoB said. Once Arabia collapses, no need to get any of those desert cities.
Jus Mecca, Sana'a and Kuwait for the oil

What does Egypt have in-store?
The Ottoman Empire has now pushed far enough East. If the Ottoman Empire is to be able to combat the European, Christian states, then the Mediterranean must be made an Ottoman lake. Once Ottoman ships are able to ply the great Sea, then Ottoman armies can march deep into Europe.
In recent years, the Ottomans have proven to the Islamic world their epic faith by proselytizing Islam among the Ottoman Empire. Eager to celebrate this phenomena in the Empire, the city of Baghdad finishes the Wat Preah Prisnulok in 1500.
In the same year the Sultan recieves a strange diplomat who arrived in Istanbul from some distant land of the North. Coveting the riches of the Black Sea, the Russian barbarians inform the mighty ruler of the Ottoman Empire that war has erupted between their nations. The Sultan laughs at the Russian diplomat for his impetuous declaration and, besides sending a regiment of Janissaries to defend the port city of Kefe, he chooses to ignore the Russian menace for the time being.
Instead, he orders his troops that had been stationed in Jerusalem to conquer Egypt for the Ottoman Empire. In 1525, knights serving under the Sultan conquer the city of Kahire in Egypt.
In the same year, a stack of Russian troops appears outside the newly built walls of Kefe. Fielding only two cannons the Russians attempt to invade the city. However, the Sultan had sent a relief force by ship to be carried to Kefe. Arriving just before the initial Russian assault, the Ottomans were able to beat back the Russian menace and obliterated their invading force.
Ottoman generals in Egypt decide to keep up their conquests in the Mediterranean while the Russians harass Ottoman forces in the Black Sea. In 1530, they capture the important city of Alexandria. It's great lighthouse and Great library immediately improve the Ottoman economy.
After a couple years of building up a new force in Ottoman Egypt, Ottoman armies continue their march west along the coast of the Mediterranean. Eventually, the Ottomans discover a new nation known as the Mali who own the city of Tripolis along the coast. They are vassals to some European nation known as England. Refusing to acknowledge any obstacles in their path, Ottoman generals issue a declaration of war to the Mali and England and storm the city in 1565.
In 1585, a renewed Russian army makes its way down to port city of Kefe. With another infusion of Ottoman troops, the Russians are beaten back. So far, the Russians have not proven themselves to a significant danger to the Ottomans. However, their attacks on Kefe are diverting needed resources to the North, while Ottoman forces need more troops in the west if they are to be able to keep up their conquests there.
In the same year, the Ottomans discover that various European states have established bases and cities in North Africa. Infuriated by this turn of events, the Ottomans declare war on the French and march deep into Tunisia. After a shooting match between French musketeers and Ottoman Janissaries, the city of Tunis falls.
Ottoman forces in the west have been seriously depleted, but there are still enough forces present to ensure a few more Ottoman successes in the area. Believing it was time to rest and view the progress of the Ottoman state, the Sultan orders a map of the Empire to be made.
The Ottomans have made enemies of almost all of Europe. Their armies continue to capture city after city in North Africa and soon, the Ottoman Empire will have the Mediterranean bases to launch attacks on the Europeans by sea and protect Ottoman lands from European naval landings. So far, Ottoman conflicts with the Europeans have been made while the Ottomans had the advantage of numbers and geography. However, the Ottomans cannot be sure that this trend will continue in the future. Now, they must look for allies in other parts of the world. They must unite the disparate nations of the East in a mighty alliance able to defend their interests against the intrusive Europeans!

It should be an Ottoman colony/city 
Sorry guys, but I'm done with this story. I'm so bored of playing RFC that I couldn't continue. Besides, after a certain point with the Ottomans you're just defending your land without expanding. Instead I'm just going to start a new story in a week or two.
