Al-Hamdani, in the introduction to \"The Description of the Arabian Peninsula\", sets its bounds: its west is the gulf of Aqaba and what the coasts drive to the Red Sea and Fustat in Egypt; its east is Oman to Bahrain, Kazima and Basra; its head is the Hijaz, Najd and al-Arud; and its south is [[place/aden|Aden]]. {cite:sifat-jazirat-al-arab pp. 4-5}\n\nAl-Hamdani says it was named so because the Arabic tongue is common throughout it, though with differences. He estimated its length at one thousand five hundred and thirty-three miles, that is seventy-six and a third stages. {cite:sifat-jazirat-al-arab pp. 4-5}\n\nAmong its old kingdoms and great monuments he counted Namat, Ghumdan, Hakar, Raydan, Baynun, Qayman, the Pool of the Pillars, and Iram of the Pillars. {cite:sifat-jazirat-al-arab p.6}"
