Jahra is one of the major cities of the State of Kuwait, located about 30 kilometers west of Kuwait City, the capital of the country's sixth largest administrative region, Jahra Province. As the historical and cultural center of Kuwait, Jahra is known for its long Bedouin tradition and strategic location, and has historically been a meeting place for trading and nomadic tribes.
The city boasts a rich cultural heritage, such as the Jahra Museum and the Red Fortress, a 19th-century Ottoman-era fortification that bore witness to Kuwait's struggle for independence. With a typical desert climate of hot, dry summers and mild winters, Jakhla's economy is based on agriculture, handicrafts and tourism, and the surrounding oases produce crops such as dates.
Today, Jahra is gradually developing modern facilities while preserving its traditional features to attract tourists to explore its ancient bazaars and natural landscapes. It is not only an important window on Kuwait's history, but also a bridge between the past and the future.
