Around 400 local development projects will be initiated soon on Kuwait’s artificial island of Al- Saji, located south of Jaber Causeway, Adel Al-Hasawi, Acting Director General of the National Fund for Small and Medium Enterprise Development said.
The announcement came following an inspection tour at the site, led by Sheikh Talal Khaled Al-Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, who also heads the committee.
The tour was conducted along with ministers and other government officials.
Al-Hasawi explained that the layout of the island, which is planned to be divided into four parts – Al-Bandera, Al-Safar, Marina and a service area – will serve as a tourism and entertainment venue featuring food trucks, booths, exhibition areas and large viewing screens for the public.
The Marina will have water taxis to transport island visitors from Ras-Al-Salmiya. There will also be tours for visitors, while the service area is expected to have parking lots, gas stations and bus points.
