Abstract
Sand dunes represent the most significant aeolian land features in Kuwait. In this study, field and laboratory work were undertaken to describe Kuwait dunes, presented as crescent-shaped dunes, in terms of morphology, sedimentology and mineralogy. The annual rate of movement of most dunes of Kuwait exceeds 20 m/yr.
