Kuwait: A multifarious land
Shaped by 10,000 years of history, Kuwait is the land of all
mysteries.
From earliest time, its natural beauty and privileged geographical
position attracted conquerors who left behind traces of their
civilizations, each adding an indelible imprint to the makeup of
what would become modern Kuwait.
Bordered on one side by the Persian Gulf, and on the other by
the majestic Arabian Desert, Kuwait seems a country suspended
between the sky and the sea. Despite its small area, above the
layers of antiquity, lies a land of mesmerizing beauty and
contrast, resplendent in its diverse geography, landscape, culture
and history.
The legacy of the past is clear from the extraordinary variety of
archeological sites, coming to light in the national Museum, the
Tarek Rajab Museum and the Bronze Age state-of-the art-
Failaka islands, with its Greek centerpiece temple, 20 kms from
Kuwait city. Each piece of Kuwait is a heart of the city where
history and life pulse.
In its fascinating sand, wind, sun and even rain, the majestic
Arabian desert is the perfect witness of a glamorous sculpture of
nature. In that sole and unique universe, where it seems the
pyramids have thrown away their stones to turn into sand, you
will live the magic of the Arabian experience.
Breaking the harshness of the sandy desert, the comforting white-
capped blue sea follows you all through Kuwait, as if it is for the
Persian Gulf that balconies have been invented.
Any attempt to describe Kuwait is a task carried out in vain. It
cannot be confined by words, it must be lived.
So we invite you to visit our marvelous country, where roads lead
from town to village, from site to city and from one époque to
another.
There is a lot in Kuwait you haven’t seen.
Allow us to help you Discover Kuwait: It has it all.
