We live in the Salmiya district of Kuwait, a small country located at the top of the Persian Gulf. As neighbours Kuwait has Iraq to the north and Saudi Arabia to the east and south. Kuwait is fairly western in outlook compared to other gulf states (particularly Saudi Arabia).

Here is how Salmiya looks from our apartment (click the photos to see bigger versions)…

   

If you are not sure exactly where Kuwait is, check the map below. You can zoom in using the + control at the left side. The red marker is the location of our apartment. Click it for more information.

Click the ‘Satellite’ button in the top-right corner of the map to see photographic satellite images of the area that the map covers. If you have zoomed right down to the Salmiya peninsula you’ll even be able to see our apartment block!

This is where we live:
