The Very First Kuwait - 1795

A painting of the very first Kuwait back in 1795 when the ruler of Kuwait was the late Amir Sheikh Abdullah Bin Sabah ( The First ), the second ruler of Kuwait. In 1756 Sheikh Sabah Al-Awaal was the first assumed leadership of Kuwait. You can see in the painting above what is called "Al-Kout" ( fort in English ), and Kuwait got it's name from this fort.

This painting made by the artist "Asa'ad Bu Nashi".
