Sharq (Arabic: شرق, romanized: Šarq) is a historic waterfront district of Kuwait City. It is Kuwait City's oldest neighborhood although most pre-oil buildings were demolished in the 1960s and 1970s. It is now a modern business area and contains many buildings, skyscrapers and malls such as the Souq Sharq, Dar Al-Awadhi complex, and Arraya Tower.
