The State of Kuwait, on the western shore of the Persian Gulf, has 10% of world oil reserves; its capital, Kuwait City, is fast becoming a world-class business hub with a growing events calendar.  On business or leisure, choose a superb hi-tech business hotel near the sleek downtown offices, or a stylish Bedouin tent in dramatic desert scenery; a family-friendly hotel on the corniche near the all-round sports facilities, or a funky luxury spa hotel steps from the polished shopping malls.
