Shame the beaches are full of trash.

interesting they still have undeveloped land considering how very tiny they are.

How did a Canadian survive the desert ?

@@TheGeorgeous lol looking back I am not quite sure.

@@TheGeorgeous there are many Canadians and Americans working here, mostly on temporary jobs and such, a lot of them live nearby my place

What’s your net worth as a Kuwaiti

@@moneymaker2024 I'm in college just graduated from highschool a couple of years ago, so my net worth isn't that much compared to well established families in kuwait.

hey im a kuwaiti. most people who own lands there are planting! in my land we have fig, grapes,palms and a lot of other trees too. its pretty cool in that city so planting is really great. however, the sun is super super hot during noons and after noons so we still have to cover the plants during summer.

Ohhhh you dream big, you’d be SURPRISED from how polluted the area and the sea is 💀💀💀💀 it’s literally a swamppppoo

@@Kwsd97 the project area is not polluted according to the index which makes sense since it's practically untouched land.

@@GOODdeels unfortunately, it’s polluted in front of all the beach houses! People don’t really care, trust I’m there every weekend!

the weather is extremely hot goes above 130+ f you can't plant coconut

Hi sir, how are you, im still working here at La Ala project in khiran

I glad to see u here sir I hope ur doing well 💓

"Creative is art of civil engineering" I like your creative ideas regarding environment and sustainable buildings. Regards ABDUL BASITH M F

I like the Tidal 'Check Valve' Design, & Natural water regulation, awesome, also seems better & simpler than Dubai reclamation project.

I’m curious, were there ever plans to create bridges or public transport connections to make the sea city a more self-sustaining community?

Yeah that’s what I thought looking at it from Google maps. Embassy resident here- Kuwait’s second largest oil refinery/main power grid station that generates most of the country’s power sits at the peninsula right above Sea City shown at 4:32 and the wind blows all the exhaust from the plant into Khiran. So the water quality is carefully monitored but everyone living there have some of the worst air pollution in the country which is already one of the worst in the world.

if Kuwait is so rich, why can't they just make all footpaths shaded with fans powered by solar panels?

@@BluePieNinjaTV they do. the issue isn’t just shade. it’s 55-60 degrees C in peak summer. people die.

@@sanaalsalem3859 I can't even imagine this heat man, damn :(

@@BluePieNinjaTV i think what they're doing is called surviving, they don't wanna die. To each their own.

@@BluePieNinjaTV we live like goblins in Kuwait. The majority of the population rarely ever gets out of air conditioned closed spaces during the day. And if some do, it is more than likely to get into or outside of the car and into another air conditioned closed space. We live in such harsh conditions that we can never adapt to.

I don't think Dubai is based on impulse, I think Dubai is based on ambition. Dubai is the project of a very ambitious man who think he can create an opulant and technological empire on a desert...by attracting the richest people to his territory and deporting the unemployed people who can't find a job (unemployement during more than 2 moths, if I remember correctly what I saw on KZfaq). Dubai is humans doing whatever It wants with Earth. Dubai is humans believing that the human specie is above Mother Nature.

@Complex CR Kuwait is far away from being smart man lol

@@zaynbassam1238 tru

This looks like they're basically copying Dubai..🙄🤦‍♂️

@@enibeni2071 ... "humans believing that the human specie is above Mother Nature..." the root cause of secular mindset. Such arrogance, such ignorance. Nature is beyond comprehension of people who want to learn science merely to become gods.

It reminds me of the opening of The Expanse.

@@jayayebee I was thinking the same thing. There’s no way it wasn’t *heavily inspired* Even the way the title appears.

You know that the intro is an copyright free sound disponible in KZfaq... right? and the animation is "The Expanse"

I wonder if you have watched Jake tran? The best on youtube so far.

And the answer to why Kuwait built a city facing so much of the ocean…DUH

Cool

was he the one who dig the sands using his hands in this sea city??

@@Badranltd lol and why u mad ? Wasn’t ur father too

thank uuuu♥♥♥♥

Yes.

Underrated suggests we're doing good with our development related projects which we are NOT. We're sadly tracking far behind than we should be all thanks to corruption.

Death to the America client state!

Because you are guys are arrogant. Whole world knows it lol

@@GOODdeels Kuwait is a country of law and institutions, and there is no corruption.

@@user-sm9hh9hz8j The Kuwaiti government and parliament LITERALLY announced and investigated various corruption cases lol.

It's really so easy to do

@@Badranltd lmao yea im sure it's soooo easy to do. whatever helps u sleep at night.

​@@Badranltdit is easy when you have what it takes.

Downtown itself is nearly complete, though the banks of the majority of the canal that they dug out 5 years ago still lay undeveloped. There are several ghost projects that have been halted and which show no signs of resuming any time soon. The whole area is definitely something that could take a decade or two to complete.

@@Ahmed-N Too much negative energy in your comment

Unlike UAE 🇦🇪 , Kuwait 🇰🇼 have set an example how to construct an environmentally sustained beach city . Sad part is that it doesn't get much coverage even inside kuwait. Indian Engineer proud to be a resident of the amazing nation for past 11 years Kuwait 🇰🇼 ❤ .

You guys, along with Qatar, are the only Arab nations that still stand strongly with Palestinians against the illegal occupation and that alone earns both nations so much respect from Palestinians and Arabs watching around the world 💛 I hope one day to see all the Arab nations prosper in such way while readopting connections/values of brotherhood amongst each other and weeding out corruption and injustice in the process of doing so 🙏🏼

Hey bro . You can’t say that emaratis are advertising their development for global attention. There is a huge cultural difference between the emaratis and Kuwaitis . Emaratis are very friendly and welcoming / if we compare to Kuwaitis . So naturally people are attracted to uae and dubai and hence dubai becomes the capital of the Arab world . Kuwaitis on the other hand prefer to be reserved , traditional and silent , moving on in their own way of life , rather than being ambitions like Emarati’s . So we can’t say emaratis are advertising for attention . They are just more friendly and they welcome everyone . That’s all ❤️

Unfortunately, Kuwait still has a long way to go when compared with other Gulf states when it comes to reliance on oil to finance these ambitious projects. As an expact who was born and raised in Kuwait. I truly hope Kuwait enters a new prosperous phase which is free from relying on oil and becomes and country which encourages innovation and development in the form of tourism and banking.

@@amirabdulazeez3241 have you been to Kuwait?! You can literally go to any group of guys and if they know you aren't from there/just visiting they'll take care of you! I don't think your opinion on Kuwaitis is accurate or fair

I managed the bridge construction. Great memories of Kuwait.

@WilliamHelstad literally anything but minibuses, theyre cramped sweaty pieces of shit that are slower than a drugged snail

Just don't visit on the summer! But you will like it here, have a good day 😊

@@radium.a actually from April or may is bad time to visit since we got dust and allergies , February is best month since its national festival and good ish spring weather warm but some chance of dust too depend of rain ratio from last fall !

Proud of having amazing people like you 🌹

We proud to have people like you ❤️

Thanks to All of You 💞

expats aren't a part of any nation. welcome though

@@Ufor332 I didn't mean like that . 😕 .

HAHA what? if you want forward thinking look at what Norway did with their oil money.

@@L0rd0fLight1 yeah, i love norway, they are fans of environmental protection of their country while happily pollute others. I am praising the engineering in this case, norway Is just a financial Solution.

@@recarras No you weren't, you were praising their leaders. Just a financial solution? What Norway is doing is far more impressive and shows what a government priorities should be.

@@L0rd0fLight1 i Guess i should elaborate to make myself clear: the engineering Solution it's environmentally friendly AND that's More impresive that what has Been done in Dubai. Also requires a Lot of leadership to handle and to choose working that way, that kind of engineering Is by itself exportable to other countries . I keep AN eye if you are talking to me something related to norwegian engineering.

@@L0rd0fLight1 You are talking about the oil fund, i guess. That a financial approach of the solution. You are comparing Kuwait, a developing nation, with Norway, an already developed nation. I dont understand your game there, you are downgrading Norway that its only comparable with kuwait for: Being a kingdom, being a producer of oil and gas. My issue with norway is the fake morality of their leadership: despite trying to put themselves as an environmental leader, their progress is related to pollute with more oil and gas (they barely offer other companies to the world) in the other to producing norwegian (fish /salmon) they have protested to a lot of regulations related to production because they own the biggest companies of salmon in Argentina and Chile, where they pollute in a way that they can show in the north sea. So no, dont compare kuwait with norway please, dont shame yourself.

True Dubai sky scrapers are empty, non residential, non commercial. Always catching fire that they struggle to put out, wasted resources

river sand which is in shortage is different from desert sand, desert sand have zero uses currently. the difference is in texture, river sand is rough while desert sand is round and fine.

Sand isn't all the same, you cant just grab any bit of sand

Windmills could grind the sand

Saltwater intrusion is huge set back, putting an already vulnerable coastal aquifers into risky situations

Transportation cost feasible?

Are there normally no mangroves there?

@@nunyabiznes33 I'm pretty sure there used to be mangroves that are native to the region. I'm not sure if those are the same ones - but the ones I saw were definitely planted by humans

@@nunyabiznes33 they don't grow along the actual coast unless protected by islands etc. Usually they grow in river and creek mouths, so the calm water in the canals will be much better for them to grow. The two natural creeks probably had them.

Weird given rising sea levels should crash the market

But Lagos is doing more like a new city built of new land, whereas Kuwait is losing land for coastline, right?

@@bush.nawaz.t8385 You're correct. Lagos is extending it's coastline via a new city called Eko Atlantic while building channels for water to flow through.

@@Bulkn350 so they are kind of if the Palm Jumeirah and Sea City were combined?

Its so nice bro

very positive news from UAE

Fossil fuels are good. They are life that has been out of cycle for to long. Don't fall for the anti carbon religion

What city?? I live hear and didn’t hear of it much

A shame that the Gulf War made the project more difficult financially. And Dubai robbing the publicity it deserves.

Yeah, accurate

Welcome to Kuwait! Feel free to ask ANY questions

Might I ask why are you moving to Kw? Just curious!

@@jacobparrekar8721 to teach 😊

@@yousto1920 thank you, everyone has been so friendly. I popped out to visit in April. Had the best time 😃

that is where they got the idea from in the first place. especially dubai has a lot of those canals.

My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

Sincerely, I'm genuinely moved by what you said. I have a seizable amount of money that I am willing to invest if given the appropriate knowledge and I am highly interested in investing. My greatest concern is losing money on a bad investment. I'm open to hearing your advice on how to make sensible investments as a result.

@@markgeorge8206 As an OAP with extensive experience, I firmly think that having the appropriate information is essential to the success of any investment. Regardless of what others may say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer frequently advises, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." The secret to succeeding even while others fail is undoubtedly this. Working with financial advisor Julie Anne Hoover, I earned $100,000. So far, working with her has been a promising experience.

Well we made them rich. What did you expect? Coastline for the poor? There are no poor in Kuwait except by those who choose it or who do not have Kuwait ancestry. Because even being born in Kuwait does not make one entitled to be a recognized citizen. You require a Kuwait male in your family history. Or... a lot of money from another country if you should ever consider living along a coastline.
