The Arabian 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]] and the [[Gulf of Oman]] to the northeast, the [[Levant]] and [[Mesopotamia]] to the north and the [[Arabian Sea]] and the [[Indian Ocean]] to the southeast. The peninsula plays a critical [[geopolitics|geopolitical]] role in the [[Arab world]] and globally due to its vast reserves of [[petroleum|oil]] and [[natural gas]].
