Kuwait may be one of the smallest countries in the world but its 500km coastline has endless beaches that not only attract visitors from the GCC but also international interest is constantly increasing. Just over 17,000 square kilometers the country is slightly smaller than New Jersey and is still one of the fastest growing countries in the world. It is a country rich in natural resources - oil was discovered in 1938 and exports began in 1946 after the Second World War. Today 90% of Kuwait’s oil reserve is exported, a relatively easy task considering the country has one of the best natural harbours in the Middle East and is regarded as a gateway to the Arabian Gulf.
