KUWAIT: With the arrival of winter, Kuwait’s spring camping season comes alive once again, reflecting one of the country’s most cherished cultural traditions and a key aspect of its national identity. Camps are set up across the northern and southern regions, creating a familiar and welcoming sight for both citizens and residents. The camping season, which began on November 15 and will continue until March 15, 2026, is more than just a seasonal activity — it is a social tradition that fosters unity, generosity, and hospitality among members of society.
Spring camps – a popular tradition linked to national identity.
Spring camps often resemble small illuminated villages, with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the scent of crackling fires. The atmosphere encourages camaraderie and offers a unique blend of heritage and modernity. Each year, Kuwaitis demonstrate that despite rapid development and modernization, the desert remains central to their hearts. The camps provide a retreat from the city’s fast pace, offering rest, tranquility and opportunities for socializing, sports, and traditional games, reinforcing the timeless connection between Kuwaitis and their desert heritage. — KUNA
