Kuwait

By Alon Calinao Dy: Kuwait, officially known as The State of Kuwait, is a small, rich, and wonderful country in the Middle East. It is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government. It is also believed as the 11th richest country in the world per capita.

Here are some of my pictures in Kuwait. These photos are intended to familiarize people with new surroundings in the country.
