Kuwait has launched its first geological park, a new initiative to promote environmental education, research, and sustainable tourism. Scheduled to open by December 2025, the GeoPark will be located north of Kuwait Bay, less than an hour from Kuwait City. The park acts as an open-air lab, featuring unique rock formations, fossil sites, and interactive displays telling Kuwait’s natural history. Visitors can explore an Interactive Mineral Garden, guided nature walks, and see striking red geological features that look like Mars landscapes. The site also preserves archaeological remains over 10,000 years old, including the early Ubaid civilization and the historic Bahra-1 oil well. The Kuwaiti government-backed project, led by Kuwait Oil Company, supports the nation’s 2035 vision for economic diversification and environmental care. The goal is to include the park in the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, marking it as a site of global geological importance. Initially, a 20 square kilometer area will open to the public, followed by a long-term expansion to 1,000 square kilometers with efforts to re-green the desert and plant native trees. Dr. Mubarak Al-Hajri, chairman of the Kuwait Society for Earth Sciences, said the park will boost sustainable development and inspire future environmental stewardship. Final ticket prices and visitor information will be announced closer to opening. Excitement is growing as Kuwait’s GeoPark promises a unique mix of science, nature, and fun for families and tourists alike.
