Kuwait, a middle eastern country, holds a special place in my heart. Though I was not born here, my journey in this beautiful nation has shaped my identity and enriched my life in ways I never imagined. Many people see Kuwait as simply a land of work and family reunions, but for me, it is a place filled with warmth, love, and unforgettable memories.
Kuwait is simply mesmeric with the stunning coastlines, modern skyline, rich history, and vibrant culture. This place is a unique blend of modernity and tradition with a variety of attractions that showcase both its rich culture heritage and its contemporary developments. The aroma of flavorful Kuwaiti dishes, the lively souks, and the generous hospitality of its people make every day an experience worth cherishing. Festivals like “National Day” and the “Hala February” celebrations bring the country to life, filling the air with music, fireworks, and joy, making me feel truly at home. The “Kuwait Tower” is an iconic symbol of the city and offer breathtaking views of the city skyline and sea. The city boosts futuristic skyscrapers and impressive architectural designs, such as the “Hamra Tower”, which is one of the tallest buildings in the country. The blend of modern structure with traditional elements creates a visually sticking cityscape. “The Grand Mosque”, “Sadu House”, and the “Kuwait National Museum” offer a deep dive into the rich history and culture of Kuwait. Every corner of Kuwait tells a story, and I find myself immersed in its history and vibrant culture every time I visit its museums and galleries.
From the first moment I set foot in this enchanting place, Kuwait was no longer a place on the map; it became my home, a place for opportunity, learning and self-discovery. Walking through Kuwait’s streets, I have experienced an international environment where friendships transcend borders, where cultures merge, and where kindness knows no limits.
The magic of this country is in the simple yet profound moments-watching the sunset over the sea with friends, sharing laughter over a meal, and feeling the warmth of Kuwaiti hospitality that makes every stranger feel like home. The memories I’ve built here, from thrilling desert adventures to peaceful nights under the city lights, will stay with me forever. As a student in Kuwait, my social life revolves around both my academic interests and the many opportunities for extracurricular engagements. This country has given me a platform to grow, explore my potential, and dream beyond limits.
I love Kuwait, my second home, the land that taught me to soar high, the land which made me who I am today.
