URL: http://www.e.gov.kw/sites/kgoArabic/Portal/Pages/Others/KuwaitMap.aspx


Kuwaiti government online has a page for Kuwaiti map but there is an error in the page (http://www.e.gov.kw/sites/kgoArabic/Portal/Pages/Others/KuwaitMap.aspx).

The municipality of Kuwaiti has a map fro Kuwaiti linked with google maps (http://gis1.baladia.gov.kw/).

Reviewer's comment: When checking again, the map worked. It has zoom up to 1:150,000, further zooms sometimes don't show anything, though, it apparently provide zoom up to 1:5,000 for some locations. The map has marks for roads, national borders, etc. Not sure when it is updated though.

Kuwait Meteorological department has a 5 days forecast of temperature and wind, but it does not has a data about precipitation. The only data about precipitation is a daily data about Kuwait international airport. No historical temperature data for the past year.

The data on a web page (http://www.met.gov.kw/Forecasts/kuwait.php?lang=arb)

The ministry of finance publishes historical expense totals: http://www.mof.gov.kw/MOF_FI/default.aspx which indicates that the data exists. The last one is for fiscal year 2013/2014 so it seems that it isn't fully digital (no totals for last fiscal period).

The Kuwait Government Online website (http://www.e.gov.kw/) does not have any evidence of a register of companies data. However, there are some companies of different types - hospitals, banks, airlines - listed along with their contact numbers in the Kuwait Statistical Review 2013, which is the closest the website comes to providing a directory. http://www.e.gov.kw/Documents/English/Forms/CSB/Statistical_Review_2013.pdf It is unlikely this is a comprehensive list.

The Kuwait Chamber of Commerce (non-governmental) has a searchable companies and institutions registry which features names, dates of registration, addresses and registration numbers. http://www.kuwaitchamber.org.kw/echamber/website/index.jsp#:searchListReport@1
