About Kuwait

Situated on the northwestern coast of the Persian Gulf, bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north and west, Kuwait has the world's fifth largest oil reserves and is one of the richest countries in the world.

Being a highly cosmopolitan society, Kuwait has a diverse and vibrant culture. The influence of Islamic and Arab culture on its architecture, music, attire, cuisine and lifestyle is prominent.

The Islamic dress code is not compulsory, unlike neighboring Saudi Arabia, many Kuwaiti men prefer wearing thawb, an ankle-length white shirt woven from cotton while some women wear abaya, black over-garment covering most parts of the body. This attire is particularly well-suited for Kuwait's hot and dry climate.
