Hub River (Template:Langx) is located in Hub District,[2] Balochistan, Pakistan. The river originates in the Pab Range in southeastern Balochistan, continues along the border of Sindh and reaches Hub and then discharges into the Arabian Sea.[3] "Hab river emerges from mountains near Zahri village of Jhalawan, and flows along the border of Sindh and Lasbela for 60 miles and discharges into the Arabian Sea near Ras Monzi. Greek historians named it as Aarabes, its eastern side was called Arabti and the area of western side of its bank as Orieti. After the month of September the water level of the river remains up to 8 inches. Its banks are at considerable height covered by greenery. Rainy branches Sarona, Samutri and Veera carry rainy water into it. The fish of [the] Hub are tasty".[4] The total length of Hub river is 134 km.
The Hub is one of Balochistan's four coastal rivers, besides the Kech, Hingol, and Basol rivers, that hosts a healthy crocodile population, according to WWF-Pakistan.[5]
History
Alexander the Great crossed Hub River through Lasbela on his way back to Babylon after conquering Northwestern India. Alexander mentions the river name as Arabius (Template:Langx), and local people as Oreitans.[6] In 711 CE, the Arab general Muhammad bin Qasim crossed Hub River when he passed through Lasbela on his way to Sindh.
