Kuwait contemporary history goes back to the year 1613, and the Sobah family governed the State of Kuwait since 1752. After being elected by the people of Kuwait Sobah Bin Jaber became the first ruler of Kuwait. The Sobah family members are known as Sheikh (male) and Sheikha (female), which is a title to honour them. Al-Sobah family originates from Al-Onouz tribe who lived in Al-Qussaim area at that time, which is part of the Saudi Arabia nowadays.

Despite the fact that the Amir (ruler) of Kuwait has to be from Al-Sobah family but the country enjoys a lot of freedom and democracy. Nevertheless, the Amir, his vice, the chairman of cabinet along with the vital positions in the government e.g. ministry of interior, defence and exterior has to occupied by one of Al-Sobah family members.
