Kuwait-Stadt (arabisch ‏الكويت‎ al-Kuwait bzw. ‏مدينة الكويت‎ Madīnat al-Kuwait) hat ca. 70.000 Einwohner und ist die Hauptstadt des Emirats Kuwait. Wegen der relativ engen kommunalen Verwaltungsgrenzen ist jedoch ihre Bedeutung im Ballungsraum mit ca. 2,5 Millionen Einwohnern wesentlich höher zu veranschlagen.

 

In der östlichen Mitte des Landes, am Ufer des Persischen Golfs gelegen, ist sie das unumstrittene kulturelle, politische und wirtschaftliche Zentrum des Landes.

 

In der Stadt sind das kuwaitische Parlament (‏مجلس الأمّة‎ Madschlis al-Umma) und die meisten Behörden angesiedelt. Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz unterhalten eigene Botschaften. Die Universität wurde 1962 gegründet. Wahrzeichen der Stadt sind die drei 1979 erbauten Wassertürme von Kuwait-Stadt (erbaut von Sune Lindström und Malene Björn).

 

Der höchste von ihnen erreicht 185 Meter und verfügt über ein Restaurant, von dem man einen weiten Ausblick hat und den Palast des Emirs sehen kann. Das Nationalmuseum, früher ein wichtiger Ausstellungsort islamischer Kunst, wurde im irakisch-kuwaitischen Golfkrieg weitgehend zerstört.

 

Nach den Kriegszerstörungen 1990/91 hat ein schneller Wiederaufbau und vor allem der Neubau von zahlreichen Hochhäusern die heutige eindrucksvolle Skyline Kuwaits entstehen lassen. Der ca. 8 km lange nördliche Küstenabschnitt vom Hafen bis zum östlichen Kap mit den Wassertürmen ist die neue Lebensader der modernen City.

 

Von 2005 bis 2011 entstand im Stadtzentrum ein neuer Wolkenkratzer, der Al Hamra Tower, der 413 Meter hoch ist und zu den höchsten Gebäuden der Welt zählt.

 

Fernstraßen verbinden Kuwait mit dem Irak, Saudi-Arabien und küstennah mit den südlichen Emiraten am Persischen Golf. Das Straßennetz vor allem in die südlichen Vororte in Küstennähe ist gut ausgebaut.

 

In die Vororte und Nachbargemeinden fahren Busse. International ist Kuwait-Stadt über den internationalen Flughafen Kuwait an den Luftverkehr angebunden.

 

Im Westen der Stadt befindet sich ein mittelgroßer Seehafen mit Umschlagmöglichkeiten für Ölprodukte, Container und Massengut. Die Passagierfahrt spielt aufgrund der politischen Unsicherheiten und der niedrigen Flugpreise nur noch eine untergeordnete Rolle.

I finished college in 1981 and had my first fulltime job. I taught as an elementary school teacher in Kuwait that fall. I went with a classmate from home and new friends who were new hires too. It was the first time we'd been overseas. The world seems like a much different place.

 

These images are rough due to the age of the photographs. Over time, I may do a bit of editing on these.
