Before the Gulf War, Kuwait was not a top destination for leisure travelers. A business-oriented country, it didn't issue tourist visas. Now, long after the fires from the war have been extinguished and the destruction cleared away, Kuwait is making it easy for visitors with tourist visas available at the airport. Travelers looking for something a little different won't be disappointed. Kuwait not only has a generous supply of oil but also an intriguing assortment of tourist attractions—dramatic desert scenery, beaches, markets, museums, ruins and other sites relating to traditional Arab and Islamic culture. It's a fascinating place to spend a few days.
