Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Translated as "the Arabian Peninsula Map" from arabic, where the map shows portions of Iraq and Syria that are colorized to inscribed within. (see note below.) This appears to be consistent with the tranlated title and this excerpt from Arabian pennisula:
"Its northern limit is defined by the w:Iranian and w:Iraqi mountain range of w:Zagros collision zone, a mountainous uplift where a w:continental collision between the w:Arabian Plate and Asia is occurring. It merges with the w:Syrian Desert with no clear line of demarcation. |

English:
Previously erroneously categorized as "GCC countries" which has the meaning:
"Politically, the Arabian Peninsula consists of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Sultanate of Oman, and the Republic of Yemen. Together, these countries (excluding the Republic of Yemen located in the south-western corner of the pennisula) constitute the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the subject of this map. Founded on 26 May 1981, the aim of this collective is to promote coordination between member states in all fields in order to achieve unity.— quote with minor annotation/links from GCC website.
