Kuwait City sits on a bay of the Arabian Gulf. Its symbol, the blue tiled Kuwait Towers, stands on the waterfront, and the Arabian Gulf Street runs beside beaches and parks for miles.

Souq Al Mubarakiya is one of the oldest markets in the region, good for dates, spices and lunch. The Grand Mosque welcomes visitors on guided tours, and the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre has museums of science, natural history and space.

Most UK visitors come for family or business. The best weather is from November to March.
