Kuwait-Najd Boundary Convention
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
The frontier between Najd and Kuwait begins in the West from junction of
the Wadi al Aujah (W. al Audja) with the Batin (El Batin), leaving Raq’i
(Rikai) to Najd, from this point it continues in a straight line until it joins
latitude 29° and the red semi-circle referred to in Article 5 of the Anglo-
Turkish Agreement of 29th July 1913. The line then follows the side of the
red semi-circle until it reaches a point terminating (sic) on the coast south !
of Ras al-Qali’ah (Ras el Kaliyah) and this is the indisputable southern
frontier of Kuwait territory. The portion of territory bounded on the North
by this line and which is bounded on the West by a low mountainous ridge
called Shaq (Esh Shakk) and on the East by the sea and on the South by a
line passing from West to East from Shaq (Esh Shakk) to 'Ain al fAbd :
(Ain el Abd) and thence to the coast north of Ras al Mish'ab (Ras Mis-
haab), in this territory the Governments of Najd and Kuwait will share 1
equal rights until through the good offices of the Government of Great
Britain a further agreement is made between Najd and Kuwait concerning
it. . :
The map on which this boundary has been made is Asia 1-1,000,000, made
by the Royal Geographical Society under the direction of the Geographical
Section General Staff and printed at the War Office in the year 1918.
