Kuwait is furiously rebuilding itself after its war with Iraq in 1990. The nation, which was just a cluster of tents 300 years ago, is an important country on the world oil map. Your visit will be a relaxed entry to the Muslim world – Kuwait is not as rigid as Saudi Arabia. Men in dishdashes and women in burkhas and yashmaks set amidst the ambience of high rises, landscaped parks and gardens, luxury hotels and beautiful boulevards make Kuwait a rare blend of the past and present.

Kuwait is surrounded by Iraq on the north and northwest, and Saudi Arabia on the west and the warm waters of the Arabian Sea on the south. Kuwait City, the capital of the State of Kuwait, is a mosaic of high-rise buildings, well tended gardens, luxury hotels, spicy souks, gold galleries and beautiful boulevards

Kuwait, officially State of Kuwait, independent sheikhdom, 6,177 sq mi. NE Arabian peninsula, at the head of the Persian Gulf, bounded by Saudi Arabia (S) and Iraq (N and W). The capital is Kuwait. It is a sandy and barren country. With more than 10% of the world's estimated oil reserves, Kuwait is a leading exporter of petroleum and has used some of the enormous profits for social improvements. In the 1960s the government launched a program of industrial diversification, successfully introducing oil refining and production of natural gas and fertilizers. The population is predominantly Arab and Sunni Muslim, although only half the inhabitants are native-born.
