In some sources, the term Arabia or Arabian pertains to the region and inhabitants thereof of the Arab world within southwest Asia.<ref>Bosma, Ulbe, Leo Lucassen, and Jan Lucassen. "Migration and Colonial Enterprise in Nineteenth Century Java." Lucassen and Lucassen, Globalising Migration History (2014): 151-179.</ref> In a narrower sense, when it is used in the sense of the Arabian Peninsula and its inhabitants, particularly those along the Persian Gulf, it is used interchangeably with the term ''Khaleeji''. <ref>Brochu, Michael R. "Cyber Bullying: A Quantitative Study on the Perceptions and Experiences of Female Emirati University Students." (2017).</ref> |

During the Arab revolt against the Ottoman empire, and for a few decades after its collapse, Arabia was often approximately characterized as constituting the region from the Arabian peninsula in the south up to a rough subcontinuous horizontal line along the coast between the Mediterranean and Anatolia.<ref>Bayly, Christopher A. "Distorted Development: The Ottoman Empire and British India, circa 1780-1916." Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East 27.2 (2007): 332-344.</ref> |

Arabians, geologically, live in a region that may more appropriately be called the Arabian subcontinent because it lies on a ] of its own, the ], which has been moving incrementally away from the rest of Africa (forming the Red Sea) and north, toward Asia, into the ] (forming the ]). The rocks exposed vary systematically across Arabia, with the oldest rocks exposed in the ] near the Red Sea, overlain by earlier sediments that become younger towards the Persian Gulf. Perhaps the best-preserved ] on Earth, the ], lies exposed in the mountains of the UAE and northern Oman. |

The ] of 1914 provides an illustration of the regional relationships. Arabs living in one of the existing districts of the Arabian peninsula, the Emirate of ], asked for a British guarantee of independence. Their proposal included all Arab lands south of a line roughly corresponding to the northern frontiers of present-day Syria and Iraq. They envisioned a new Arab state, or confederation of states, adjoining the southern Arabian Peninsula. It would have comprised ] – ] and ], ] with ], ], ], ], and ].<ref>As cited by R, John and S. Hadawi's, Palestine Diary, pp. 30–31, the 'Damascus Protocol' stated: "The recognition by Great Britain of the independence of the Arab countries lying within the following frontiers: North: The Line Mersin_Adana to parallel 37N. and thence along the line Birejek-Urga-Mardin-Kidiat-Jazirat (Ibn 'Unear)-Amadia to the Persian frontier; East: The Persian frontier down to the Persian Gulf; South: The Indian Ocean (with the exclusion of Aden, whose status was to be maintained). West: The Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea back to Mersin. The abolition of all exceptional privileges granted to foreigners under the capitulations. The conclusion of a defensive alliance between Great Britain ''and the future independent Arab State''. The grant of economic preference to Great Britain." see , By Randall Baker, Oleander Press, 1979, {{ISBN|0-900891-48-3}}, pages 64–65</ref> |
