Kuwait City: Two artificial islands attached to the newly-inaugurated Shaikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway will be opened for investment for touristic and entertainment purposes.
Prime Minister Shaikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah has given directives to promote investments and fast-track procedures.
The landmark bridge links Kuwait City with Al-Subiya area and the future Madinat Al-Harir (Silk City) project over Kuwait Bay as part of the development plans kicked started some nine years ago.
Jaber Causeway – which stretches around 37.5 kilometres – shortens the commuting time between Kuwait City and Subiya area to under 30 minutes, from around 90 minutes through the usual 104 kilometre-long network of highways and roads.
