Low-temperature thermochronology has been widely used in eastern Africa and Arabia (Afro-Arabia) to investigate the long-term thermal evolution of the crust in response to Phanerozoic tectonism. Yet, utilisation of this invaluable thermochronology record to inform numerical investigations into the long-term tectonothermal, geodynamic and landscape evolution of the region has been limited by the dispersion of these data across numerous disparate case studies. Here, we present a relational database of apatite (1787), zircon (68) and titanite fission-track (97) analyses, and apatite (1,945), zircon (3310), and titanite (U-Th)/He (83) ages, including 465 new fission-track and 2,583 new single-grain (U-Th)/He analyses from across region. Where available, all detailed single-grain age, track length, geochemical and kinetic parameter data needed for performing thermal history modelling are presented. Also included are 668 digitised thermochronology-derived thermal history simulations and burial history models from well data, which quantify the regional upper crustal Phanerozoic thermal history. Collectively, this comprehensive database records the Phanerozoic thermal evolution of Afro-Arabia through space and time. Regional spatiotemporal trends, anomalies, limitations and potential future uses of the dataset are then discussed. The machine-readable database is made publicly available through the EarthBank platform, enabling 4D (3D through time) geospatial data interrogation.
