WELCOME TO GCC — KUWAIT

GCC (Gulf Corporation Council) which has six big & small states, including Kuwait. It is just like any other state, so what makes Kuwait unique & what is so different about it. If we are talking about its geographical area, it is a country of the Arabian Peninsula located in the northwestern corner of the Persian Gulf. The name “Kuwait” is derived from the Arabic diminutive of the Hindustani kūt (“fort”). A small emirate nestled between Iraq and Saudi Arabia; Kuwait is situated in a section of one of the driest, least-hospitable deserts on earth. Its shore, however, includes Kuwait Bay, a deep harbor on the Persian Gulf. Kuwait is largely desert except the western end of it.
Native language is Arabic, English is the second language taught in public schools. Hindi, Urdu, Persian (Farsi), and other languages also are widely spoken among the foreign population. Population wise mostly suni’s are the majority of the population. It has been carrying a unique part of the world where ancient culture stands alongside modern day developments, which can be proved by the help of their sports culture, dressing style and many more.
In sports if they are competed national & international in countries most widely played sports i.e soccer & Golf on the other hand it carries all the traditional sports, here we can say the traditional Arabian society with the contemporary western culture. While on the chapter of tradition of Kuwait- we cannot brush off  famous Kuwaiti culture as  is the institution of the  diwaniyyah , a regular gathering of men usually in a tent or a separate room of the main house—which serves as a time to gather, enjoy refreshments, talk, or play games, this tradition has been followed from ancient times till date, as it competes the world with latest technology although it carries its tradition. Art   tradition of Kuwait   weaving is maintained still . The intricately woven fabrics are made on a sadu, a Bedouin loom, and are common sights in souks (bazaars). Two ʿids (festivals), ʿId -a-Fitre and id -Al –Ada including Ramadan these are the Islamic holiday’s.
If we move towards the city , a huge & good market to shop in the city where it is easy to get  all kinds of cloths traditional as well as western .Local markets are available  were you pick up a good bargain on Middle Eastern  & Oriental  items, you could shop at the traditional Souk Al Mubarakiya market downtown for good shop, for western shop western-style Souk  Sharq (Kuwait City) and Marina Mall (Salmia) is there.
The Incredible thing about Kuwait smooths transportation, although no railway is in the country, roads are linked with its neighbors & a large airport is located south of the capital which helps in fluid business for the country.
This state is into much business as manufacturing, agriculture, & trade which capably generate not as good GDP for its economy as the OIL & GAS does.
Kuwait is the one –tenth of the oil reserves in the word, even after a huge destruction in this field in 1990’s, it reparse all the damages & capable to came up in the list of leading IOL &* GAS industries.
Due to this business 1970’s the state has successfully generated good per capita income in the world. Kuwait also has considerable natural gas reserves, almost all in the form of associated gas i.e., gas that is produced together with crude oil. The leading companies of the state are KOC & KNPC, which was formally owned by British Petroleum Company & Gulf Oil Corporation but in 1976 both the companies has came under the possession of   Government. Afterwards KNPC comes in the light of new marketing business strategy of supply & distribution of  petroleum products in abroad.  In 1980 the government founded the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation as an umbrella organization overseeing the KOC and the KNPC as well as the Kuwait Oil Tanker Company, the Petrochemicals Industries Company, and the Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company.
