Arabian Peninsula
The Arabian Peninsula is the large peninsula of south-west Asia between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. It was the base from which the Rashidun Caliphate launched the early Islamic conquests. It was also connected through trade to the Aksumite Empire across the Red Sea and to the Babylonian world, and was visited by Ming Chinese fleets.
