For thousands of years before oil transformed the Middle East, the Persian Gulf was already one of the most important regions in the world. Ancient civilizations traded across its waters, powerful empires fought to control its ports, and generations of pearl divers risked their lives in the shallow banks that made the Gulf famous long before petroleum.
This documentary explores the entire history of the Persian Gulf, from the ancient trading kingdom of Dilmun and the great Persian empires, through the rise of Islamic maritime trade, the arrival of Portuguese fleets, and the centuries of competition between local dynasties and European powers. It follows the story of the pearl economy that sustained Gulf societies for centuries, the growing influence of the British Empire, and the political treaties that shaped the borders of modern Gulf states.
We also examine the dramatic collapse of the pearl industry in the early 20th century, the discovery of oil beneath the desert, and the rapid transformation that turned small coastal settlements into some of the wealthiest cities on earth.
From ancient trade networks and maritime empires to British protectorates, oil discoveries, and modern skylines, the story of the Persian Gulf is one of the most remarkable transformations in world history.
This is the full story of how the Gulf became the region we know today.
