History

In J.G. Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, Ain Sinan was described as a village 4 miles southwest of Fuwayrit which contained a fort with a 35 feet deep masonry well. The fort was said to have been built by the Al-Maadeed tribe. After the Al Maadeed abandoned the area, the fort was held by the Bu Kuwara tribe of Fuwayrit as a means to secure its water supply.^[3]
