- Step 2: 1. Capital Governorate (Al-Asimah) - houses the royal court, ministries, and financial district
- Step 3: 2. Hawalli Governorate - high-density residential and commercial center
- Step 4: 3. Farwaniya Governorate - largest by population, includes Kuwait International Airport
- Step 5: 4. Ahmadi Governorate - center of the petroleum industry and southern agriculture
- Step 6: 5. Jahra Governorate - largest by land area, includes Bubiyan and northern agriculture
- Step 7: 6. Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate - established in 1999, residential suburbs.
Answer
Six Governorates.
Why not the others: 'Four Governorates' was the administrative division before 1988 (prior to Jahra and Mubarak Al-Kabeer additions); 'Eight' and 'Twelve' overcount Kuwait's local administrative districts.
