taariikh

Audio with Theyab's pronunciation

Kuwait only has two seasons, 9ayf and shitaa. I say 'only' - but this means that there are six whole months in which  you can enjoy the outdoors. And those six months are not in summer. The time to be in Kuwait is in the winter.

As most of Kuwait borders the water, the outdoors life is all about the sea. It's this way now as it's always been. So no big surprise that the Arabian Gulf has shaped the country's identity and taariikh with its pearl diving, fishing, transporting of cargo and supplies.
