Kuwait
Kuwait sits at the northwestern tip of the Persian Gulf, a flat, largely desert state where oil wealth has shaped one of the most urbanised societies in the Arab world. The skyline of Kuwait City rises sharply from the Gulf shore, while the surrounding landscape is almost entirely arid plain. Traditional dhow culture persists quietly alongside glass towers and busy souqs.
About Kuwait
Overview
Kuwait borders Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north, with a Gulf coastline that has historically driven its trade. Kuwait City is the capital, the cultural centre, and home to most of the population. Arabic is the official language; the Kuwaiti dinar is the currency, among the highest-valued in the world. The national identity balances Bedouin heritage with rapid modernisation.
