Shuwaikh (ar|الشويخ) is a seaside district of Kuwait City in Kuwait. It comprises eight blocks. Shuwaikh also has an industrial area, a port, a commercial area, a healthcare area and an education area; all of which form their own census-designated districts.[2]
The area of Shuwaikh is partly industrial and partly rural. It includes Souq al-Juma, which is a Friday market that sells many things such as furniture, clothes, new and used goods, and much more.[3] Next to the Souq al-Juma is an animal market that has been criticized for the huge amount of animal abuse committed by the sellers to the animals that are sold.[4] Shuwaikh is commonly recognized for the Shuwaikh port which is Kuwait's most important port because it contains a power station and water desalination which supplies all of Kuwait city.[5]
