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.
