The Arabian Gulf Road (Arabic: شارع الخليج العربي), commonly referred to simply as Gulf Road (Arabic spelling: شارع الخليج, Kuwaiti Arabic pronunciation /ʃa:rɪʕ ɪlχɐliːd͡ʒ/) is the most prominent road in Kuwait, located in the capital of the country, Kuwait City. It was named as such as it coasts the Persian Gulf (and the smaller body of Kuwait Bay within it) in all of its distance due to its semi-circular shape.
