Mutla Ridge

Mutla Ridge is Kuwait's only hilly desert terrain – at more than 300m high, it offers a wonderful view of the full expanse of Kuwait Bay. For a taste of the desert, drive the road to Bubiyan Island that runs along the southeastern flank of the ridge. You may see camels roaming the edge, grazing on the coarse grass that is common to the area. In spring, the slope down to the coastal marshes is pale green with new shoots and wildflowers.
