Kuwait

Kuwait is another country I visited. It is the 5th richest country in the world due to its massive oil production. It holds 10% of the world's proven oil reserves. It has a population of about 3.5 million people. In 1990 Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait and after being defeated, he set fire to over 773 oil wells while exiting the country. Below is a photo I took from a tower in Kuwait. The "Three Towers" were shot at and almost destroyed when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
