I think you mean the Gulf of Oman. Right? It's a strait. I'm not sure of the age. I think it's been around before records because it is from the real world. Like when the land filled with water, with the ocean and such, yeah.

Some 250million years ago the Thetys Ocean occupied an area far larger than todays Gulf of Oman - at a time when Oman itself was part of the Pangea landmass in the Permian period. Neither the Gulf of Oman nor Oman existed in the form we know them today.
During the Tertiary period starting 65 million years ago crustal movements and continental drift accelerated the relocation of Arabia and India into their position today.
This resulted in the creation of new bodies of land and water and the elimination of others.
The Gulf of Oman was formed out of an existing body of water the Thethys Ocean –while in contrast the Red Sea was formed by the separation of what is now Arabia and Africa.
You could say that the Gulf of Oman became recognizable around 7 million years ago by the collision between Arabia and Asia.

Find out when the country of Oman was named or started, and you'll have your answer! Seriously though - it is probably as old as the world itself.
