Kuwait is a small, oil rich constitutional monarchy with 10% of proven world oil reserves. Foreign workers constitute approximately 80% of the labor force. Kuwaiti citizens constitute only 37% of the country's population of 2.4 million, and enjoy the benefits of a generous social welfare system that guarantees employment, housing, education and medical care. Kuwait offers something rarely seen by the average traveler. Far from the poverty of the "third world", thanks to the discovery of oil, Kuwait is a modern bustling country mixed with old world traditions and desert bedouin tribes. From camel races and women dressed showing only their eyes to cell phones and the latest Gucci handbags, Kuwait offers an interesting taste of both old and new.
