Kuwait lies at the north east corner of the Arabian Gulf. To the north and west it borders to Iraq, and to the south and south-west it borders with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To the east it has a coastline of 290 km on the Arabian Gulf. Having an arid climate Kuwait enjoys sunshine almost all the year round, with temperatures exceeding 50c in the summer months. If you roll over the map to the left you will zoom in on Kuwait. Our apartment was on the east coast, near to Fahaheel, and about 30 miles south of Kuwait City.
