Excavations of the Qusur complex in the center of Failaka Island in Kuwait commenced in 2011 and were continued in 2013, carried out by a team from the University of Warsaw. A magnetic prospection preceded the fieldwork. In the course of two seasons three of nine units in the northernmost part of the site were investigated. Stone enclosures and small houses with white mortar floors were discovered and dated provisionally to the late pre-Islamic and early Islamic period. The settlement was cleared of practically all finds save for some refuse pottery in the courtyards.

Excavation at the site of Kharaib el-Desht on Failaka Island, Kuwait, began in 2013 and continued in 2015 and 2016. The second season focused on the northwestern part of the site, namely Areas 1 and 4. In the third season, work also encompassed the southeastern part of the site, Area 3, where the exploration of a stone structure was resumed. A fragment of a residential complex was also unearthed in this area. Test trenches, opened inside the stone structure and below the foundation level of the residential remains, confirmed the existence of an earlier phase, predating the Desht settlement.

The Christian settlement of Al-Qusur existed on Failaka in the centre of the island between the 7th and 8th centuries, although it is possible that the first settlers may have arrived earlier. Its abandonment is associated with the establishment of an Islamic village on the coast. Al-Qusur is the largest and best explored Christian settlement in the Gulf region. Approximately 90 houses and a church have been identified in its area, as well as a public building of undetermined purpose. The settlement has a compact development in the centre, concentrated around the church and the aforementioned building, while on the outskirts, the distances between houses increase. Small houses consisting of several rooms, often with plastered walls and limestone floors, were surrounded by large courtyards.

Chrześcijańska osada Qusur na Fajlace istniała w centrum wyspy w VII-VIII w., choć możliwe, że pierwsi osadnicy mogli pojawić się wcześniej. Jej opuszczenie związane jest z powstaniem islamskiej wsi na wybrzeżu. Qusur jest największą i najlepiej rozpoznaną osadą chrześcijańską w rejonie Zatoki Perskiej. Na jej obszarze zidentyfikowano ok. 90 domów i kościół oraz budowlę publiczną o nieustalonym przeznaczeniu. Osada posiada zwartą zabudowę w centrum, skupioną wokół kościoła i wspomnianej budowli, na peryferiach odległości między domami zwiększają się. Małe domy złożone z kilku pomieszczeń, często o tynkowanych ścianach i podłogach z  wylewki wapiennej, otoczone były rozległymi dziedzińcami.
