What is the name of the narrow marine channel that separates Bubiyan Island from the mainland of Kuwait to the west?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Khor Al-Subiya
- Step 1: Khor Al-Subiya is a sheltered tidal waterway separating the western coast of Bubiyan Island from the Subiya mainland.
- Step 2: The historic 2.5-kilometer Bubiyan Bridge spans Khor Al-Subiya, providing the sole road link to the island.
- Step 3: Khor Abd Allah lies on the eastern side of Bubiyan, separating it from the Iraqi coast.
Answer
Khor Al-Subiya.
Why not the others: 'Khor Abd Allah' is the wide channel separating Bubiyan from the Iraqi Al-Faw peninsula; 'Strait of Hormuz' is the strategic passage 800 km away connecting the Gulf to the Indian Ocean; 'Khor Al Adaid' is located in Qatar.
