The soaring Kuwait Towers are a symbol of a nation on the move (above); There are great golf opportunities in Kuwait (below).

  A decade ago few of the Gulf States entertained any thoughts about developing their tourism potential let alone actively promoting their special interest holiday wares in the world’s increasingly competitive marketplace.  With “economic diversity” the current buzz phrase this dynamic region has since responded to the challenges of the new millennium and is collectively one of the fastest growing tourist destinations on the planet.

Located on headlands facing the famed Arabian Gulf, Kuwait may well be one of the last sovereign nations in the Gulf to embrace the mantle of tourism but it was one of the first places on the peninsula to be inhabited.  In seaworthy craft befitting an advanced civilisation Greek explorers set their sights on and sailed to Kuwait in the 4th century BC. 

    This in-depth illustrated feature on the cultural and historic mementos of Kuwait can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words depending upon editorial requirements.  As well, a sidebar can be written on the golf scene in Kuwait.
