Al-Qurain is a significant residential area in the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate and also holds important historical significance. The name 'Qurain' is an old name for Kuwait itself. The neighborhood is modern and well-planned, similar to its neighbors Al-Qusour and Al-Adan. However, it is best known for the Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum, which commemorates the resistance of a group of Kuwaitis against the Iraqi invaders during the 1990 Gulf War. The museum is housed in the actual house where the battle took place and is a poignant memorial to national resistance. Apart from its historical site, Al-Qurain is a bustling residential area with many services, including the Qurain Markets, a large complex featuring shops, restaurants, and a traditional souq. This makes it an important commercial center for the surrounding areas.
