Kuwait City is the capital and largest city of Kuwait, home to approximately 2.4 million residents in the Kuwait governorate. It operates on Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+3), a fixed year-round offset. Kuwait is a tiny constitutional emirate at the head of the Persian Gulf, yet it has one of the world's highest per-capita incomes, sustained by enormous oil reserves — Kuwait was one of the world's top oil producers when petroleum was first discovered in commercial quantities in 1938. The Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), founded in 1953, is the world's oldest sovereign wealth fund. Kuwait City's skyline is dominated by the Kuwait Towers — three distinctive bulbous water towers completed in 1979, which have become the city's defining architectural symbol. The 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (Operation Desert Storm) — in which Saddam Hussein's forces occupied the country for 7 months before being expelled by a US-led coalition — was a defining event in modern Middle Eastern history.
