Jurdab

The name Jurdab is believed to have originated from the Persian word گرداب (Ger-dab) meaning whirlpool.^[1]

In J. G. Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf (1908), he writes that Jurdab consisted of 30 reed huts inhabited by the Baharna, whom were date palm cultivators. There were an estimated 2,230 date palms in the village.^[2]
