The City of Kuwait City:

After the Gulf War in 1991, modernization and rehabilitation of the city of Kuwait has transformed the desolate area into a contemporary city, buzzing with high-rise office buildings, luxury hotels, wide boulevards, and beautiful parks and gardens. Its wealth of oil has been a blessing for Kuwait in terms of cash flow, enabling Kuwait City to be at par with Las Vegas or Los Angeles. There is much to do in this bustling metropolis, including sports such as sailing, tennis, and horse riding. Theater groups, ramblers, and choirs present an option for anyone who is interested in creative arts. March and April, when the spring season is at its peak, is the best time to visit Kuwait City since the weather is delightful. Walking along well-kept sidewalks lining the coast of Kuwait and watching the sunset on the Arabian Sea are two experiences that no tourist will forget.
