Failaka Island
Agarum (also transliterated as Agaru or Akarum, cuneiform: "a-kà-rum" or "a-ga-rum") is a bronze-age Near Eastern proper name, probably a toponym for a region or island in the Eastern Arabia and Persian Gulf. Agarum has been generally identified with Kuwait's Failaka Island, known as ´KR to the Arameans and as Ikaros during the Hellenistic times. Failaka's Ekara temple is another probable location. Agarum is sometimes identified with the mediaeval city of Haǧar, in the general region of Al-Ahsa Oasis in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain Island in Bahrain.
