In the center of Kuwait city I spent a few days to admire the modern monutments and lavish lifestyle created by mass oil wealth in the country.

Kuwait is an amazing city in that some areas on the coast a similar to a European Mediterranean vacation hotspot, where other areas look like the downtown of a commercial district in the United States, but the city still contains areas of importance like the Grand Mosque completed in 1986. Some areas of the coast seem too close to home, new cars and modern fashion with the hijab taking you back to realizing this is not America or Europe. That is the thing about Kuwait that is the most fascinating, the mix between culture and modern development in a predominantly muslim country like this traditions are still woven deep into society but the people are sill willing to progress. They retain both an Olive Tree and Lexus.
