"Gulf countries" is just a conventional concept. There are many bays in the world, and each bay has its own special name, such as Beibu Gulf and Bay of Bengal.

Gulf countries are famous for their rich oil reserves and are known as "the world's oil treasure house". Oil in the Gulf was first discovered near Kirkuk in northern Iraq on 1927. 10 years later, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries in the Gulf region discovered oil resources one after another.

Introduction to Persian Gulf:

The Persian Gulf, located in southwest Asia, is one of the most important inland seas in the world. Located between Arabia and Iran, it has a total length of 1040 km and a width of 180-320 km, covering an area of about 259,000 square kilometers.

To the east, it connects with the Gulf of Oman through the Strait of Hormuz, exits the south exit of the Gulf of Oman, and enters the Indian Ocean through the Arabian Sea. In the Middle East, the Gulf countries occupy an important position in terms of economy and military strategy.
