Etymology
The name Dhabarak comes from Persian name for Dhabarakis, when they were under Persian dynasties. The name Dha' brak is ancient Persian word and it means a land across the gulf. The name has transformed into it's current form during centuries.

Antiquity
The first ancient Dhabarakis setteled on Qatar Peninsula during Bronze Age. The ancient Dhabarakis were part of Dilmun for a long time. Dilmun was a kingdom and a trade partner of Mesopotamia. According to archaeological sites, Dilmun controlled the island of Bahrain, northern Qatari peninsula and the eastern coast of current Dhabarak.

In 6th century BC, Persians conquered Dilmun and ceded nearly all land of current known Dhabarak, and northeastern parts of Oman. Persians created important trading cities which are known today as Manama, Doha and Dubai. From the 6th to 3rd century BC, Dhabarakis were part of the Persian Empire, until the end of 14th century, Persians retreated from the Arabian Peninsula.

Ottoman Dhabarak
After being part of Persian Empire, Dhabarakis were split into 28 tiny sheikdoms. These sheikdoms lasted about 60 years. The sheikdoms had conflicts and they were fighting a lot. Surprisingly in 1667, Ottoman Empire invaded all sheikdoms and Oman, ceded them part of the empire.

Being part of Ottoman Empire, the piracy raised in the Persian Gulf. In Europe, a term for this area was often called as Pirate Coast. Ottoman Empire didn't care about the piracy and the Ottomans didn't keep discipline. This caused conflicts and finally a revolution called Dhabaraki Revolution in 1745. During this revolution, all the former sheikdoms got up and stood against the Ottomans. The Revolution succeeded and the Dhabaraki sheikdoms united into one single kingdom.

First Dhabaraki Kingdom
The first Dhabaraki Kingdom was formed in October 17th, 1746. The capital city was Doha, because it was the largest city at the time in the kingdom. Other big cities were Manama, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The kingdom was led by two families during it's era: Abdullah, Muhammad. Piracy stopped in the Dhabaraki seas, but kingdom had a lot of conflicts due dissatisfaction of the king.

The kingdom lasted 116 years when the Dhabaraki War happened. It happened between 1860-1862 when British forces attacked the Kingdom for getting better wealthy lands. Kingdom surrendered quickly because some Dhabarakis wanted the British to win, in the hope of a better leadership. In May 7th 1862 Kingdom surrendered and became a colony of British Empire.
