Around 70% of all Kuwaitis live in the capital, Kuwait City. Kuwait is not one of our dream destinations. Nevertheless, we want to spend a few days here.<\/p>\n

Kuwait had a population of around 4.3 million in 2020, <\/strong>of which around 61% were men. Women are therefore a clear minority with a share of only 39%<\/strong>.
\nIn addition, only 33% of Kuwaitis<\/strong> have citizenship<\/strong>. The remaining 67% are foreigners with no prospect of naturalization. They mainly come from Iran, India, Pakistan, etc. The approximately 180,000 Bedouins are also disadvantaged in the country, I read on Wikipedia.
\nPolitically, Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy.<\/p>\n

On the journey from the border to Kuwait City, we drive through boring and meaningless desert, interwoven with endless power lines and the tent camps of the Kuwaitis. They use them as a second home or for renting out.
\nKuwait is well developed in terms of transportation and so it is no problem to drive through the city by truck.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Skyline<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

For one night, we drive across the main sea road to a small island with the most beautiful view of the skyline. There we meet the most famous “sheikh” of the overlander scene in Switzerland<\/strong>. But now enjoy the pictures and the time-lapse of the Kuwait City skyline.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
