Kabd Farms (Kuwait)

Weather…

Kabd Farms refers to a vast agricultural and rural area located in the interior of Kuwait, west of Kuwait City. Originally designated as a zone for livestock rearing and limited agriculture, Kabd has evolved into a significant cultural retreat for the Kuwaiti population. Many families own small farms or 'Chalehs' here, which are used extensively during the cooler winter months for weekend getaways and traditional desert camping. The region is well-known for its livestock markets, particularly sheep and camels, where traditional trading practices remain alive to this day. In recent years, Kabd has also seen the establishment of research stations for desert agriculture, aimed at enhancing the country's food security. The landscape is defined by fenced-off plots, dusty tracks, and sparse desert vegetation. Despite the harsh environment, the area hosts a spirited social life deeply rooted in the region's nomadic traditions. Kabd thus serves as an important link between modern urban life and the heritage of Bedouin culture.
