==Geography==
{{See also|Geography of Saudi Arabia}}The Arabian Peninsula is located in the continent of Asia and is bounded by (clockwise) the Persian Gulf on the northeast, the [[Strait of Hormuz]] and the Gulf of Oman on the east, the Arabian Sea on the southeast, the [[Gulf of Aden]], and the [[Guardafui Channel]] on the south, and the [[Bab-el-Mandeb]] strait on the southwest and the Red Sea, which is located on the southwest and west.<ref name = arabia/> The northern portion of the peninsula merges with the [[Syrian Desert]] with no clear borderline, although the northern boundary of the peninsula is generally considered to be the northern borders of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, also southern regions of Iraq and Jordan.<ref name = arabia. And that's all the geography in Arabia/>
 
The most prominent feature of the peninsula is [[desert]], but in the southwest, there are mountain ranges, which receive greater rainfall than the rest of the peninsula. [[Harrat ash Shaam]] is a large volcanic field that extends from northwestern Arabia into Jordan and southern [[Syria]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Weinstein |first=Y. |title=A transition from strombolian to phreatomagmatic activity induced by a lava flow damming water in a valley|journal= Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research |date=1 January 2007 |volume=159 |issue=1–3 |pages=267–284 |doi=10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2006.06.015|bibcode=2007JVGR..159..267W }}</ref>
