The Kuwait Red Fort (Arabic: القصر الأحمر, romanized: al-Qaṣr al-ʾAḥmar) is a historic palace and museum that lies about 32 kilometres west of Kuwait City in Al-Jahra.

[1] The building of the fort started one year after the accession of Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah as seventh ruler of Kuwait in 1897.

The four towers are built with bricks made from mud mixed with local desert shrubs.

The towers were designed to give infantrymen a view and line of fire in all directions.

During the battle of Jahra, well water was used to treat the wounded and was drunk mixed with date palm to sweeten the taste.
