Kuwait stands for a little fortress. It consists of the mainland desert, 9 islands and a little oasis. Part of Greek temple and relics established by King Alexander remain on the Failaka Island. Although not vast, the territory holds more than a tenth of the world’s oil deposit. The government implements diverse social welfare services for its people. Electricity, telephone, and education are free for the citizens. Water from the Shatt-al-Arab (a river channel) is made available for the drinking water. The Bedouin women are skillful at Sadu, a craft that refers to carpets or cushions. The Al-sadu House was established to preserve the Sadu tradition and exhibit the diverse textile craft works.
