Gwadar is situated on the southwestern Arabian Sea coast of Pakistan in
Gwadar District of Balochistan province. Like Ormara further east, Gwadar is
situated on a natural hammerhead-shaped peninsula forming two almost perfect,
but naturally curved, semicircular bays on either side, namely the Gwadar West
Bay and Gwadar East Bay. Gwadar is largely flat barren land with two hills, the
Koh-e-Batil (maximum height
449 ft.) at the head of the hammerhead peninsula and Koh-e-Mehdi (maximum height
1,112 ft.) to the east
