Kuwait–Saudi Arabia Border
The Kuwait–Saudi Arabia border is 221 km (137 mi) in length and runs from the tripoint with Iraq in the west to the Persian Gulf coast in the east. Description The border starts in the west the tripoint with Iraq on the Wadi Al-Batin; a straight line of 90 km (55 mi), angled slightly to the south-east, then proceeds eastwards. The border then turns southwards via a series of irregular lines, before turning sharply to the east, with a straight line of 70 km (43 mi) running to the Gulf coast. History Historically there was no clearly defined boundary in this part of the Arabian peninsula; at the start of the 20th century the Ottoman Empire controlled what is now Iraq and Britain controlled Kuwait as a protectorate, with the interior consisting of loosely organised Arab groupings, occasionally forming emirates, most prominent of which was the Emirate of Nejd and Hasa ruled by the al-Saud family.
