📍 Destination Overview
Al Ahmadi, capital of Kuwait's Al Ahmadi Governorate, is the heart of Kuwait's oil industry. Unlike the desert towns around it, it is marked by tree-lined boulevards and British-style quarters, earning the title 'Garden City'. The Oil Display Center traces the story from 1938, and the well fields recall the 1991 Gulf War — a unique industrial destination.
