Culture and history

Historical Kuwait grew up at the intersection of the desert and the sea: nomadic tribes, caravan routes and crafts of the coast - sailing dhows, fishing for pearls, trade.

Over time, nabati poetry, singing "south," weaving in the garden; Diuania became the center of public life - a guest room for discussions and decisions.

The 20th century brought the discovery of oil, rapid modernization, the development of education, theater and television - the Kuwaiti scene has long been a landmark for the entire Gulf.

Milestones in recent history - independence (1961), occupation of 1990 and subsequent restoration.

Today, the cultural landscape connects heritage and urbanism: museums and cultural centers, festivals, literature and cinema, cuisine with mahbus and haris, coffee rituals with cardamom - while maintaining family and community norms.
