Kuwait’s culture
In the 7th century Kuwait was part of the Arab Empire. Since 1581 the same family has ruled Kuwait since Khalid. Oil revenue is the country's main income, so it is said to be "oil country"or the "Golden State." Other industries include refining, liquefied natural gas, desalination, construction materials, and others. "Kuwait" in Arabic means "small castle." Arabic is the official language, and English is also spoken.
