Capital Governorate

The governorate was established in 1962 as one of Kuwait's first administrative divisions following the nation's independence. It developed into a center for trade, government, and finance.

The governorate houses traditional souks and museums that display daily life and heritage of Kuwait. Visitors can experience local craftsmanship and cultural customs of the nation directly here.
