The Al-Sabah Dynasty is the ruling family of Kuwait, established in the 18th century. The dynasty's founder, Sheikh Sabah I, led the tribe of Anizah and played a crucial role in the formation of modern Kuwait. The family has maintained power through various political and social changes, adapting to both regional and global dynamics. Throughout its history, the Al-Sabah family has been instrumental in Kuwait's development, particularly in the oil industry, which transformed the nation’s economy. The current ruler, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, ascended to the throne in 2020, continuing the dynasty's legacy of leadership and governance.
