About Kuwait

Kuwait sits at the head of the Persian Gulf, a desert country of low ridges, salt flats and a strikingly modern capital. Kuwait City holds the landmark towers and a lively corniche, Failaka Island carries ancient ruins offshore, and the open desert suits winter camping and birdwatching. November to March brings the mildest weather for exploring; summer is intensely hot and humid, while spring can be dusty with occasional rain.
