About Kuwait City
Kuwait City is the capital of Kuwait and the centre of the country's government, oil-driven economy and financial sector. Sitting on Kuwait Bay at the head of the Gulf, it is known for the Kuwait Towers, its souks and its waterfront, and it is a common destination for business travellers working in energy and finance.
The city follows Arabia Standard Time, UTC+3, all year round with no daylight saving. Kuwait shares this offset with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and Iraq, and is one hour behind Dubai. The working week runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend, so the window for business contact with Europe or the Americas is effectively Monday to Thursday.
