Kuwait, Constitutional emirate in Persian Gulf, Western Asia.
Kuwait spans across 17,818 square kilometers of desert terrain, with a 500-kilometer coastline along the Persian Gulf between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
The discovery of oil in 1938 transformed Kuwait from a pearl trading port into a major petroleum exporter, leading to rapid urban development.
The National Assembly of Kuwait operates as a unicameral legislature with 50 elected representatives, making it distinct among Gulf monarchies.
Kuwait International Airport connects to 51 global destinations through national carrier Kuwait Airways and serves as a regional transportation center.
The Kuwait Towers contain water storage spheres that supply the city with 9 million gallons while functioning as observation decks and restaurants.
