Kuwait is an oil-rich country located in the Persian Gulf. It’s a wealthy country with a high standard of living and of course, many attractions for you to visit. Take a look at our ultimate travel guide to this GCC country.
There are plenty of tourist attractions to see in Kuwait. Here are some of the best among them:
Al Hamra

Liberation Tower

Kuwait Beaches

Buying souvenirs is an essential part of every trip. Head over to Hajraj, the Friday market of Kuwait to splurge on some mind-blowing souvenirs.
There are many high-end restaurants in Kuwait. However, to get a taste of local flavor in a budget, you should definitely go to Old Souk, also called Mubarakiya.
