The Gulf of Oman is just to the East of the Strait of Hormuz. It lies between the countries of Oman & Iran. It connects the Arabian Sea with the Strait of Hormuz, which then runs to the Persian Gulf. It is generally included as a branch of the Persian Gulf, not as an arm of the Arabian Sea. On the north coast is Pakistan and Iran . On the south coast are Oman in the east, and the United Arab Emirates for a short distance in the west.
Coordinates = 24°43?14?N 58°19?35?E?
The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of the Gulf of Oman as follows:
On the Northwest. A line joining Ràs Limah (25°57′N) on the coast of Arabia and Ràs al Kuh (25°48′N) on the coast of Iran (Persia).
On the Southeast. The Northern limit of the Arabian Sea [A line joining Ràs al Hadd, East point of Arabia (22°32'N) and Ràs Jiyùni (61°43'E) on the coast of Pakistan].
