Ministry of Interior have issued a video to make one's camping experience a happy one by taking some simple cautions during their stay at the camps. Drive carefully to the camp sites by keeping in mind of pedestrians around the camp sites. Avoid areas near power utilities, Military installations, Oil Wells and drive at safe speeds, wear seat belts and avoid mobile phones while driving. Also keep an eye out while using the Charcoal based cooking units, with proper ventilation or at least extinguishing it when not using or in absentia. Watch out for power cables at camp sites and try not to overload the power outlets or extension cords. Do not set fire to any of the trash/garbage at the camp site nor at the designated trash bins. People are advised to not drive the all terrain vehicles (ATVs, Dirt bikes, buggies) on the highways.  The Ministry of Interior officials and police officers are there for assisting and keeping the law and order so that the camping experience can be memorable and safe. Take a look at the video issued by Ministry of Interior below.

The whole setup for the skydive has been prepared in the South of Kuwait, away from the hustle and bustle of the Kuwaiti Skyline. The official drop-zone is away from industrial areas and utilities making it an ideal place for carrying out skydiving. Another amazing feature during the skydive is the backdrop, in which one can see Khiran Seaside City (Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Seaside City) with its inland waterways. It sets apart when one captures it during the skydive.

The runway, the skydive landing area, the preparation area and the plane hanger, all have been newly setup with the sole purpose of skydiving. Cessna 208 Caravan aircraft is the flight used for the skydive, which will let skydiver jump from the height of 13,000 feet in the air. All the tandem rigs and equipment for the one time skydive experience is ready and waiting for the skydive enthusiasts. The tandem jumps can be carried out with male or female instructors.
