Kuwait City
Water towers shaped like giant blue baubles that became the accidental national symbol, a souk trading gold and dates the way it has for generations, and a desert camp culture each winter where the whole city seems to pitch a tent for the weekend.
The best time to visit Kuwait City is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (69°F). Local time there is 05:12 (UTC+3).
