Kuwait, the capital of the State of Kuwait, is located in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula, on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Neighboring Iraq to the north and Saudi Arabia to the south, Kuwait means castle by the water in Arabic. Ruled by a parliamentary monarchy, Kuwait is the seventh richest country in the world thanks to oil, which accounts for 80% of the country's income.

Date

Founded by Ancient Greece in the 4th century BC, the city came under the rule of the Parthians and the Sassanid Empire. As a result of the settlement of Arab tribes in the 18th century, the Kuwait Sheikhdom was established and the foundations of today's Kuwait were laid. In 1899, with the agreement made with the United Kingdom, Kuwait, which had been under the rule of the Ottoman Empire since the 19th century, gained semi-independence. Kuwait, which gained its full independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, was occupied by Iraq in 1990 after a huge increase in oil production. Although the 7-month occupation was ended with the intervention of the coalition forces led by the USA, about 800 oil wells were burned, causing a major environmental disaster. It is one of the high-income countries according to the classification made by the World Bank.

Places to visit

You can dine and drink coffee against the view at the Kuwait Towers, which has a unique view of Kuwait, which is among the smallest continental countries in the world and located in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula.

Apart from these, although the National Museum witnessed the loss of many works of art during the war, it was partially renovated and opened to visitors and Islamic mosaics are still visible. Sadu House, a museum made of coral and plaster where the works of art of the Bedouin people are preserved, Bayt Al-Badr, the residence of the Al Badr family open to tourists, and the Science and Natural History Museum are among the places that should be on the Kuwait travel list.

Cardamom coffee and shisha, a local drink made with a mixture of cardamom and coffee, are among the most famous drinks.
