Known for its vast oil reserves, Kuwait is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, with a high standard of living and a robust economy driven by petroleum exports. The capital city, Kuwait City, is a bustling metropolis that blends modern skyscrapers, such as the iconic Kuwait Towers, with traditional markets and cultural landmarks.
