"The Arabian Peninsula (/əˈreɪbiən ... /; Arabic: شِبْهُ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّة‎, shibhu l-jazīrati l-ʿarabiyyah, "Arabian Peninsula" or جَزِيرَةُ الْعَرَب, jazīratu l-ʿarab, "Island of the Arabs") is a peninsula of Western Asia, situated northeast of Africa on the Arabian Plate. The Peninsula, plus Bahrain, the Socotra Archipelago and other nearby islands form a geopolitical region called Arabia, which is the largest region in the world without any river.

The Arabian Peninsula is the largest peninsula in the world, at 3,237,500 km2 (1,250,000 sq mi). Arabia consists of seven countries: Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The peninsula formed as a result of the rifting of the Red Sea between 56 and 23 million years ago, and is bordered by the Red Sea to the west and southwest, the Persian Gulf to the northeast, the Levant to the north and the Indian Ocean to the southeast. The peninsula plays a critical geopolitical role in the Arab world due to its vast reserves of oil and natural gas." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.09.2020)
