01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Al Ahmadi—637,411, Asia/Kuwait, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: suburb.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Al Ahmadi is GeoNames ID 285839. Its recorded administrative path is Al Ahmadi → Kuwait, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Al Aḩmadī occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-04-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Al Ahmadi ranks 872 by recorded population. Inside the 1 selected Kuwait entries it ranks 1; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 179. Its 637,411 population value is 1.00 times the 637,411 median for the country cohort and 0.71 times the 902,588 regional median. Al Ahmadi is rank 1 among the 1 selected Kuwait entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Al Ahmadi's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Al Ahmadi's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 285839, the coordinate pair 29.0769 / 48.0839, country rank 1 of 1, and neighbor GeoNames 99532 at 161.856 km bind Al Ahmadi to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Al Ahmadi's reference point is 29.0769° north and 48.0839° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kuwait is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Al Ahmadi's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Al Ahmadi's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Al Ahmadi's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Al Ahmadi, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
