Context of Araabia

Araabia ehk Araabia poolsaar on Edela-Aasias asuv poolsaar. Poolsaart piiravad läänes Punane meri, idas Araabia meri, põhjas Omaani laht ja Pärsia laht, lõunas Adeni laht. Siinai poolsaart ja Mesopotaamiat, st nn viljaka poolkuu alasid Araabia osaks ei loeta. Looduslikku piiri põhjas pole, kokkuleppeliseks piiriks peetakse ligikaudu 30. põhjalaiust. Pindala on ligikaudu 3 miljonit km².

Araabiast suurema osa hõlmab Saudi Araabia. Araabia maadeks loetakse ka Jeemenit, Omaani, Araabia Ühendemiraate, Katari ja Kuveiti ning Pärsia lahe riiki Bahreini. Araabiasse kuuluvad ka Jordaania ja Iraagi kõrbealad Jordaania ida- ja Iraagi lõunaosas.

Ligi 95% Araabiast on kõrb. Poolsaarel on mitmeid suuri liivakõrbeid. Viimastest suurim on Ar-Rub' al-Khālī.
