First time in Kuwait

For centuries, Kuwait was the pole of attraction for caravans travelling through the desert to reach the cooler coast. Nowadays, it is a cosmopolitan oasis at the edge of the Persian Gulf.

• Kuwait City is the capital of the Emirate of the same name. It is an ultramodern and vibrant metropolis full of multi-storey buildings, luxury hotels, important museums and a cosmopolitan culinary scene. Kuwait Towers, three slender structures with a magnificent view of the city, are its trademark. Most of Kuwait's sights are located in Kuwait City. It is worth visiting Liberation Tower, the Grand Mosque - an exquisite example of Islamic architecture in the heart of the city, and the Scientific Centre on the beautiful pier with the largest aquarium in the Middle East. Don't miss the magnificent ethnographic Tareq Rajab Museum with its rare collection of Islamic art.
• A short distance from the capital is the historic city of Al Jahra. Worth a visit is the Red Fort, a national monument to the victory of Kuwait's forces over the Saudi Arabian invaders in the battle of 1920.
• Failaka Island is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Persian Gulf and features findings from the Bronze Age. Nowadays, it is enjoying new glory as a luxury tourist resort.

Trip ideas in Kuwait

The vast Kuwait desert offers unique opportunities to learn about the primitive way of life of the Bedouin, or to take part in extreme sports.

• Try one of the organised excursions to enjoy activities ranging from camping safaris and camel trekking to desert biking among the sand dunes.
• Visit Doha Village and enjoy the endless entertainment experience of Entertainment City. This is a vast cluster of three theme parks with mini-golf courses, gardens with lakes, a railway, a zoo and restaurants .
• The heart of the national oil industry beats in Al Ahmadi, built in the '40s and '50s to house workers. A visit to the Oil Display Centre for a tour of the history of the Kuwait National Petroleum Company is very worthwhile.

  The best time to visit Kuwait is springtime, as summer temperatures are quite high. It is also a good idea to avoid the fasting period of Ramadan. Book your tickets with Aegean Airlines and experience the mystery and splendour of the Middle East.
