Keywords: Kuwait, Gulf War, Storm, Nursing Kuwait, the country noted as the cultural capital of the Arab world, is located on the continent of Asia. Bounded by Iraq on the left, Iran to the immediate right, Saudi Arabia on the bottom, and the Arabian Gulf to the far right, this small country attracted the attention of the entire world when Iraq invaded it in 1990. The character and traditions of Kuwait have been shaped by the sea, which for so many generations has provided the Kuwaitis with their major source of income. Kuwait's present development has fascinated businesses and drawn investors from other parts of the world. The Kuwaiti flag remains a symbol of dignity and freedom. Its' colors of white, black, green and red denote white for work, black for struggles, green for spring homes and red for the past.

It is a mutual understanding in the Arabic culture for two men to kiss each other on the cheek if they are friends, but it is impolite to kiss a woman on the cheek, no matter how friendly you are. Another social issue is "cruising," which is especially popular among the younger generation of Kuwaitis. The status symbol for cruising in Kuwait is the late model car. Young people drive with music so loud, that it attracts the attention of all spectators.

(Macintosh.aifc) (Windows .wav) Kuwait and Its Capital City Khaled Al-Hajeri Kuwait is one of the most beautiful Arabic countries around and its capital, Kuwait City, is fantastic. I like it because it's my country and it has many attractions, like shopping, camping, fishing, restaurants and lots more great things. The Al-Sabah family ruled Kuwait and its dynasty was established in the mid-eighteenth century, about 1760. Because of its small size and small number of people, Turks threatened to take actual control of Kuwait in 1899. Kuwait received British protection when the threat was real.

In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait. For seven months Iraqi soldiers and war-machines destroyed most of our beautiful country. After those seven months Kuwait was free with the help of the world.
