Kuwait City, Financial center on Kuwait Bay, Kuwait.
The metropolitan area extends along the southern shore of Kuwait Bay, containing commercial districts, modern hotels, and governmental buildings connected by wide streets.
The settlement evolved from an 18th-century fishing village into a central trading port, connecting India, Muscat, Baghdad, Persia, and Arabia through maritime routes.
The Kuwait National Museum preserves archaeological findings from Faylakah Island, while the Grand Mosque represents traditional Islamic architectural elements in the city center.
The city maintains the highest currency value worldwide, supported by petroleum exports that generate substantial revenue for infrastructure development and public services.
The Kuwait Towers rise above the shoreline as water towers, combining storage capabilities with observation decks that provide views across the Persian Gulf.
