The Arabian Peninsula is a peninsula in Southwest Asia at the junction of Africa and Asia consisting mainly of desert. The Arabian Peninsula consists of
a central plateau, known as Nejd, with fertile valleys used for the grazing of sheep; a range of deserts, the Nefud in the north, the Rub' Al-Khali
or Great Arabian Desert, in the south, and the Dahna; stretches of dry coastland with coral reefs on the Red Sea side; and ranges of mountains,
primarily paralleling the Red Sea on the western Asir province and southeastern end Oman. The highest peak is Jabal Al-Nabi Sho'aib in Yemen 3,666 m. |
