==History==
During the British administration, Rutbah Wells, as it was then known, was a stopover for Imperial Airways on flights from Britain to India and the Gulf Region.〔(Saudi Aramco World : Flying the Furrow )〕 Aircraft were routed Cairo - Gaza - Rutbah Wells - Bagdhad. It was also a water stop on the overland drive from Baghdad to Damascus; travelers who stopped lodged in a fort. 16 kilometers south of Rutbah (Rutbah Wells, in 1934), the famous aircraft "Uiver" (), a winner of the MacRobertson Air Race, a DC-2 type from the KLM, (now known as Air France-KLM), crashed there on its first flight after the MacRobertson Air Race in December 1934, on its way to the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). There were seven people dead, including Dominique Willem Berretty, a Dutch media magnate.
