Failaka Island in Kuwait boasts a rich tapestry of history, with evidence of civilizations dating back to the end of the 3rd millennium BC, extending through to the 19th century AD. Among its notable sites is Dilmun Town, also known as Tell Sa’ad, which contains the remains of houses and rooms dating as far back as 1950 BC, belonging to the late Dilmun period around 1450 BC. This historical site also includes the Rest House of Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who governed Kuwait from 1921 to 1950.

Located northeast of Tell Sa’ad are the Al-Hakem Palace and the Dilmunian Tower Temple, which date back to 2000 BC. Additionally, remnants of a small housing unit affiliated with the Third Ur Dynasty around 2100 BC contribute to the island's historical significance.
