Kuwait is situated in the northeastern

part of the Arabian Peninsula, at the

head of the Persian Gulf. Kuwait is

bordered on the north and west by Iraq,

on the south and west by Saudi Arabia,

and on the east by the Persian Gulf. For

many years Kuwait was a small emirate

whose economy centered on sea trade

and especially pearl exports. The
discovery of oil in the 20th
 century

transformed all aspects of Kuwaiti

society. Kuwait is one of the world's

smallest countries, occupying 17,818 sq

km (6880 sq mi). The greatest distance

from north to south is 200 km (120 mi)

and from east to west 170 km (110 mi).

Kuwait´s official language is Arabic,

which is spoken by all citizens. Both Arabic and English are taught

in Kuwaiti schools. Islam is the official religion, 85% Kuwaiti

citizens are Muslim. 15% others. In 1997 Kuwait had an estimated

population of 1,834,269. Slightly fewer than 40 percent of the

people are native Kuwaitis, while the remainders of the population,

for the most part, are foreign workers.

The sultanate of Oman lies on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula.  The Sultanate of Oman has attractive tourist sites, valleys, deserts, beaches, and mountains that make it distinct from other GCC states. Jebel Shams is the tallest mountain, the highest point in the region, also famous for the existence of places for camping, too. Most of the major shopping centers are in Muscat, the capital, where  the Muscat City Centre is the largest of these centers, and other tourist activities are sand skiing, mountain climbing, camel racing, and camping.
