Kuwait City, Kuwait
The cosmopolitan port of Kuwait City was first settled in the early 18th century by the "Al-Sabāh clan, later the ruling family of Kuwait and a branch of the Al-Utūb tribe (that also included the Al-Khalīfah clan, the ruling family of Bahrain), and their leader, Sheikh Sabāh I." The name Kuwait is thought to be derived from the Arabic word "akwat,” the plural of "kout,” meaning fortress built near the sea, as an abandoned area fort was known as "Kūt."
