Khawr Abd Allah or Khor Abdullah (Arabic: خور عبد الله, romanized: khawr ‘abdullāh) is a narrow waterway located in the northern Persian Gulf, between the Kuwaiti islands of Bubiyan and Warbah to the west and Al-Faw Peninsula of Iraq to the east. It forms part of the maritime boundary between Kuwait and Iraq, serving as a key navigational channel for access to the ports of both countries. In 2010, the Iraqi government laid the foundation stone for the construction of the Grand Faw Port on the Iraqi side.
