Persian Gulf

by Cindy

I'm not sure what you have in mind when you think of the Persian Gulf but here is what it actually looks like:



Here we call it the Arabian Gulf, since we are in Arabia!  It is beautiful blue green water with soft white sand so going to the beach is quite popular here. The gulf is really shallow so during the winter the water gets cold (around 62 F) and during the summer it gets warm like bath water (around 97 F).

We have snorkeling, diving, deep sea fishing and dolphin swimming in the Gulf.  Not what you expected, huh?

  1. No body of water by that name has ever existed. The correct name is Persian Gulf, which always has been, and will always remain, Persian
