Ahmadi is a town situated in the far south of Kuwait, known for its residential and commercial significance as well as its picturesque landscapes and well-maintained parks. Established in 1946, it was named after the Emir of Kuwait at the time, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, as this area became home to the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). The town was meticulously planned and constructed to provide a high standard of living for oil company employees. Its layout reflects a suburban grid pattern interspersed with green spaces, uniquely blending urban and garden city elements. Ahmadi stands out for its lush greenery, a contrast to Kuwait's predominantly desert terrain, with the oil sector having significantly shaped its cultural and economic fabric. Given its historical link to the petroleum industry, the Oil Display Center is a local highlight offering insights into Kuwait's oil history. The town is also known for its contributions to sports, hosting several well-facilitated sports complexes and venues. It speaks to both Kuwait's heritage and its modernity, representing how the oil wealth transformed a once nomadic trading region into a contemporary urban society.
