Kuwait adalah sebuah negara di Teluk Persia. Pada abad ke delapan belas hingga ke sembilan belas, Kuwait merupakan sebuah pelabuhan dagang.[1][2][3]
Before oil was discovered in Kuwait 53 years ago, the country was largely a nation of merchant traders. Its natural harbor made Kuwait a hub of Middle East commerce and a center for boat building.
Home to one of only two natural ports in the Persian Gulf, Kuwait has for hundreds of years been a commercial and cosmopolitan center.
