The island is 20 km off the coast of Kuwait City in the Arabic Gulf. The name "Failaka" is thought to be derived from the ancient Greek φυλάκιο(ν) - fylakio

Failaka has been a strategic location since the rise of the Sumerian city-state during the third millennium BC. [4] Mesopotamians first settled on the Kuwaiti island of Failaka in 2000 B. C. Traders from the Sumerian city inhabited Failaka and ran a mercantile business. The island had many Mesopotamian-style buildings typical of those found in Iraq dating from around 2000 B. C.
From 4000 BC until 2000 BC, the bay of Kuwait was home to the Dilmun civilization. Dilmun's control of the bay of Kuwait included mainland Akkaz, Umm anamal Island, and Failaka Island. At its peak in 2000 BC, the Dilmun empire controlled the trade routes from Mesopotamia to India and the Indus Valley civilization.

During the Dilmun era (from ca. 3000 BC), Failaka was known as "Agarum", the land of Enzak, a great god in the Dilmun civilization.
