The Arabian Peninsula

The Arabian Peninsula is a large, mostly desert landmass located in Southwest Asia, bordered by the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea. It includes countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Known for its vast deserts, including the Empty Quarter, it is rich in oil resources and has historically been a crossroads for trade and culture. The region is culturally diverse, primarily Arab-speaking, and plays a significant role in global energy markets and Islamic history as the birthplace of Islam.
