In Kuwait they eat a lot of fish, Arab

best to give it on a wedding, birthdays, and a
birth of a child. Finally, jewelry is the designed

7. Oil is the most natural resource of Kuwait
and oil is the best product. Also, it’s
important because they have a lot of oil, so
they trade it for money. Then they use the
money to pay the government. Kuwaiti
government manages the salary for the
people of Kuwait. . Kuwait has a few natural
resources besides oil. In 2007 Kuwait
predicted that they have 101.5 billion or 8%
of the worlds oil resevers.

Something very interesting happened in the
history of Kuwait. That thing is between
Kuwait and Iraq and Iraq captured Kuwait in
1990. Also, Iraq stole all there valuables in
Kuwait including there food supplies. So, so
many people left. Then Kuwait and Iraq
started a war in 1991. After, the war the
people of Kuwait fixed the damage and (Iraq
lost).

A interesting fact is that the
government, and banking offices are located
in Kuwait City. In the early 1700s a group of
Arabs found Kuwait City. For more then 200
years the people in Kuwait lived on fishing
and gathering pearls.

Kuwait is a very interesting country. I
learned that the best product is oil, the
winters are short mean while the summers
are long. The culture, climate, and
geography are very interesting, but my
favorite is the CULTRE!! Finally, I wish can go
there one day and I hope that day is near.
