Kuwait is one of the leading exporters of Petroleum in the world. Although an oil rich country, it has other features to proudly cater for its touristic aspirations, including Kuwait Towers, Liberation Tower (world’s fourth tallest stand-alone building), The Grand Mosque, the National Assembly Building, the Entertainment City, as well as numerous iconic shopping malls and areas.
Kuwait City, the capital, is known for its modern architecture, ranging from skyscrapers to the striking Kuwait Towers, water towers whose design recalls the tiled domes of a classic mosque. Kuwait has many public and private beaches, resorts, beautiful islands, and archaeological sites from the Greek era. Kuwait is also the centre of fine arts, political and social awareness, and a place where many of today’s most prominent Arabic talents, leaders and other notable individuals lived and bloomed.
The Kuwaitis’ pride in their history, heritage and national progress has given rise to an identity which is uniquely Kuwaiti. While it is a modernized country, Kuwaiti traditions stand strong with the necessary dash of the famed Arab hospitality.
