Kuwait City, Kuwait

Cradled between Saudi Arabia and Iraq in one of the most ancient and contested corners of the world, Kuwait has a certain cachet. It may be as oil-rich as other Gulf countries, and its architectural landscape as experimental and audacious, but it hasn't embraced glitz and glamour in the same way. Kuwait remains an oasis in a land of desert plains, and visitors may be surprised by the intriguing attractions on offer, from excellent museums and galleries to a fine souq, to a corniche with beaches and lively restaurants.
