Kuwait City
Arabian Peninsula metropolis
Kuwait City is the capital and largest city of Kuwait, situated on the Persian Gulf coast.
It serves as the country's political, economic, and cultural center, with oil wealth transforming it from a small trading port into a modern metropolis of skyscrapers and shopping malls.
We flew into Kuwait City before driving to the border.
