The Environment Public Authority (EPA) celebrated Tuesday the official opening of Jahra Nature Reserve to the public, with visits to start from tomorrow, Wednesday, as reservations can be made through EPA's official website.

The Chairman and Director General of EPA Sheikh Abdullah Ahmad Al-Humoud Al-Sabah said in a press statement that this is the first ecotourism project in Kuwait to be opened to receive visitors with the aim of increasing environmental awareness and appreciating the landscape.

The visit will be for an hour and a half, during which the public relations team from EPA will guide visitors and take them on a tour inside the reserve, he added.

The reserve took several years to be made by EPA and the Ministry of Public Works, which supplied the reserve with water, he explained.

The entry is by pre-booking on EPA website. The entry fee is two dinar for citizens and three dinar for expatriates above 10 years. For children below 10 years, it is 1 kd for citizen and 1.5 KD for expatriates.
