How to read this map
The Arabian Sea covers about 3,860,000 km² (1,490,000 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 5,800 m (19,029 ft). Countries with a coast on the Arabian Sea: India, Iran, the Maldives, Oman, Pakistan, Somalia and South Yemen.
The blue outline marks the Arabian Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Mumbai, Delhi, Karachi, Bengaluru, Lahore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune. Labeled countries: India, Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Oman and United Arab Emirates.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Arabian Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Arabian Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
