Tarout Island
Tārūt Island ((アラビア語:جزيرة تاروت)) is an island in the Persian Gulf belonging to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, connected by two causeways to Qatif. It is six kilometers from the coast, and is the longest island in the Persian Gulf after Qeshm Island, extending from Ra’s Tannurah in the north to Qatif in the west. The island has an area of 70 square kilometers, and a population (1992) of 38,055. It contains a number of towns and villages, including Tārūt itself, Deyrah, and Darīn.
==History of the name==
The ancient Arabic name for the place was apparently 'Ishtarut (عشتروت); in the Greek Geographia of Ptolemy it is called Tharrō (θαρρώ); on a map Ptolemy’s Geographia published in Latin in 1578 it appears as ''Tharro''. In the Middle Ages the island was often called Dairin or Daryn, for one of its cities.; Darīn is actually the name of its main harbor, and there have also been more modern attempts to rename it Darīn.〔See the webpage: (Mawqi' Jazīrat Tārūt ), in Arabic, where the question is asked what the name of the island really is: Tārūt or Dārīn. The reply is that it was never historically known as Dārīn, though there have been recent attempts to rename it after the harbor its real name is Tārūt.〕 The Treaty of Darin was signed on the island in 1915 between Ibn Saud and the United Kingdom.
