Kuwait, the cradle of one of the most ancient and most-contested corners of the world, is best described as a city state.

The burgeoning capital, Kuwait City, is like a magnet: for centuries it has been attracting Bedouin people from the Arabian interior, in search of the sea breeze and an escape from recurring drought.
Today the metropolis is still an oasis in a land of desert plains, but rather more of the cultural and epicurean kind.  Kuwait boasts excellent museums; cornice-ornamented with combed beaches and extravagant restaurants; modern shopping complexes and marinas.  Long and lazy retreats at new beach resorts mark the Kuwait City experience.

Kuwait shares European weather patterns but is hotter and drier. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cool with limited rain. Springtime is cool and pleasant.

The best time of the year to visit Kuwait, would be the months of November to April, just before or after summer, when the temperature during the day falls below 18 degrees Celsius, and nights are cooler. During February to April the desert is laced in transparent lime green and the city is decorated with petunias providing a most pleasant feel.
