THE COUNTRY
Kuwait, a land where the whisper of ancient desert winds meets the vibrant hum of modernity, beckons travellers with its unique blend of tradition and innovation. Nestled on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, this small but rich nation boasts an opulent history spanning millennia, where Bedouin tales intertwine with the rise of a global oil empire. The shimmering skyline of Kuwait City, crowned by the iconic Kuwait Towers, is a testament to the country's ambitious spirit.
But beneath the gleaming surface lies a culture deeply rooted in hospitality, where the aroma of saffron and cardamom wafts from bustling souks and the timeless beauty of the desert invites exploration. From the tranquil sands of Failaka Island to the cultural treasures of the Tareq Rajab Museum, Kuwait offers an enchanting journey for those seeking a fusion of the old and the new, the serene and the spectacular.
