Which one among the following countries is not part of the Arabian Peninsula? (a) Kuwait (b) Oman (c) Jordan (d) Yemen

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Arabian Peninsula is a distinct geographical region in Western Asia. Geographically, it comprises the countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Yemen [1]. Kuwait is situated in the northeastern corner of the peninsula, while Oman occupies the extreme southeastern corner. Yemen is located on the southern and southwestern edges of the peninsula. In contrast, Jordan is located in the Levant region of the Middle East. While Jordan shares a southern and eastern border with Saudi Arabia, it is situated north of the peninsula's primary geographical boundary. Maps of the region distinguish the Arabian Peninsula from the Levant (which includes Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria) and Mesopotamia. Therefore, Jordan is the country among the options that is not considered part of the Arabian Peninsula.
