Maps of Kuwait

The State of Kuwait is a sovereign Arab nation situated in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic "akwat", the plural of "kout", meaning fortress built near water. After Kuwait gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented economic growth.
