Ali Sabah Al-Salem is a relatively new residential area in the Al-Ahmadi Governorate in southern Kuwait. It was formerly known as Umm Al-Hayman but was renamed in honor of Sheikh Ali Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah. The city was designed as a modern residential area to meet the growing housing needs of the Kuwaiti population. It is located near the Saudi border and is strategically convenient for those working in the southern oil fields or in the nearby industrial areas. The city is divided into various sectors and has a modern infrastructure, including schools, clinics, mosques, and shopping centers. Efforts have been made to mitigate the environmental impact of nearby industries and to create green spaces to improve the quality of life for residents.
