Don’t let the map size fool you — Kuwait might be pocket-sized, but it punches well above its weight, with a 480-kilometre stretch of sunlit coastline, deep-rooted culture of hospitality and fast-evolving skyline.

Kuwait may be diminutive, but size means nothing. The emirate is surrounded by golden sand and benefits from an irresistible 500-kilometre-long coastline, as well as a tradition of welcome and a healthy museum and food culture. The country is set to reveal a number of ambitious developments within the next few years, including Silk City (Madinat Al-Hareer), a 250 square-kilometre, $132-billion city development and home to Burj Mubarak Al-Kabir, the world’s next tallest tower topping out at 1,001m.
