The Kuwait Towers would be necessary for sure, it is basically Kuwait in an image (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait_Towers). I would expect also lots of camels - seriously they are every where there-, a kangaroo mouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo_mouse), camel spider (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solifugae) - though those are kind of gross looking. Really camels are important. I would expect the Islamic Crescent Moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_and_crescent) and probably a mosque. Kuwait has some very interesting shaped water towers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait_Water_Towers). Maybe some Kuwaiti dinar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwaiti_dinar).

Some geography & recent history of Kuwait (with an obvious US emphasis as it's what I know), if that helps. It is bordered by Iraq & Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf. It's a very small country, basically an hour gets you anywhere in the country. 90% of the population lives in Kuwait City. During the winter they have camping season, where the men set up these elaborate tent cities for the more traditional way of living. In the 1990s, Iraq invaded Kuwait and killed a large percentage of their military and took over the country. The US and other countries came in to help liberate Kuwait (the first Gulf War) and now there is a lot of foreign military presence in Kuwait with the US military having many bases of their own. Operation Inherent Resolve (the current main Middle East campaign) is headquartered in Kuwait. It's a rich country, so their architecture is a mixture of elaborate and traditional. They have a lot of traditional Souk Markets (the traditional shopping markets) and a lot of modern western malls.
Picture of their camping season, it looks really neat: (https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...=19&ajaxhist=0)

I could email you some of my pictures if you are interested. Thank you!
