The Arabian Sea

Today from Mumbai we cross the Arabian Sea to the Arabic Peninsula. The Arabian Sea is a region of the Indian Ocean bounded on the east by India, on the north by Pakistan and Iran, on the west by the Arabian Peninsula, on the south, approximately, by a line between Cape Guardafui, the north-east point of Somalia, Socotra, Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin) in India, and the western coast of Sri Lanka. The Arabian Sea's surface area is about 1,491,130 square miles (3,862,000 sq km). The maximum width of the Arabian Sea is approximately 1,490 miles (2,400 km), and its maximum depth is 15,262ft (4,652 meters), in the Arabian Basin, approximately at the same latitude as the southernmost tip of India.
