Location of the cities. Green dots represent capital cities, red dots represent normal cities
This is a list of cities on the
Arabian Peninsula by population, based primarily on national census estimates of the number of residents residing within the limits of a municipality (i.e.
city proper); if recent official data is unavailable, reputable non-governmental estimates are used instead. The minimum population for a city to be included is 500,000. The geographic definition of Arabia is used, encompassing the countries of
Kuwait,
Oman,
Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, the
United Arab Emirates, and
Yemen in their entirety, as well as the island nation of
Bahrain and the southern regions of
Iraq and
Jordan.[note 1] C stands for Census, E stands for estimate.
