Kūsh is an archaeological tell located near to the western coast of the northern United Arab Emirates, about 80 kilometres south of the Strait of Hormuz. It contains an excavated occupation sequence dating from the later Sasanian period to about the 13th century AD, with a later, 16th/17th century re-occupation. It is one of very few sites in the region with evidence of later Sasanian occupation.
