Sabah Al Ahmad is Kuwait’s new city built on the sea, allowing residents direct access to the ocean in an otherwise dry climate. The infrastructure requires creating an artificial coastline, which will be costly and difficult.
The city carved in the desert: Why did the Arabs build this amazing construction?
In the middle of the desert of one of the hottest countries on the planet, the Arabs decided to build a peculiar city. Almost every resident of Sabah Al Ahmad, in Kuwait, has access to their own private beach. No, it’s not Dubai, nor are they artificial islands. This is a construction project as ambitious as it is eccentric, dug into the desert itself. Canals connected to the sea, artificial beaches and a hydrodynamic system with limited use of support pumps define this city. It may seem like an exaggeration, but there is an explanation. It involves oil, war, environmental solutions and cutting-edge engineering. This is the story of why Kuwait decided to bring the sea into the desert.
