Located in the north-east corner of the Arabian Peninsula, Kuwait is one of the smallest countries in the world. The flat, sandy Arabian Desert covers most of Kuwait. It has nine islands, all of which with the exception of Failaka Island are uninhabited. With an area of 860 km², the Bubiyan is the largest island in Kuwait and is connected to the rest of the country by a 2,380 m long bridge. Kuwait has the world's fifth largest oil reserves and is the fourth richest country in the world per capita. It is regarded as the most developed country in the Arab League. Kuwait City is located on Kuwait Bay, a natural deep-water harbor. Excellent museums; combed beaches and extravagant restaurants; modern shopping complexes and marinas, and long and lazy retreats at new beach resorts mark the Kuwait City experience. Kuwait also has an excellent airport. Passengers can also find car rental agency at Kuwait airport. The influence of Islamic and Arab culture on its architecture, music, attire, cuisine and lifestyle is prominent. The most distinctive characteristic of local Kuwaiti culture are the diwaniyas, a large reception room used for social gatherings attended mostly by close family members. While the Islamic dress code is not compulsory, unlike neighboring Saudi Arabia, many of the older Kuwaiti men prefer wearing thawb, an ankle-length white shirt woven from wool or cotton while the minority of women wears abaya, black over-garment covering most parts of the body. This attire is particularly well-suited for Kuwait's hot and dry climate. Western-style clothing is also fairly popular, especially among Kuwait's youth. Seafood has been the mainstay of the Kuwaiti diet for centuries. The Arabs in the Persian Gulf region played a crucial role in the spice trade between India and Europe and spices have remained an important ingredient of Kuwaiti cuisine.
