Sulaibiya (Arabic: الصليبية) or Al-Sulaibiya is a suburban neighbourhood in Al Jahra Governorate, Kuwait. It covers an area of roughly 12 square kilometres (4.6 sq mi) and has a population of around 38,000 residents. Established in 1980, the area initially served as a camp for Bedoon (stateless) people. In 1982, it was developed into a residential area. The suburb has become famous for being a haven for Bedoon residents, a marginalized group that has been caught in legal limbo, unable to gain citizenship while facing discrimination and lack of access to employment, education, and social services available to Kuwaiti nationals. Sulaibiya is home to two industrial areas containing several warehouses and concrete factories. Moreover, it accommodates several agricultural and dairy farms, and the residential area consisting of 10 blocks. A plan to relocate the neighbourhood for future development is underway and will involve transferring all residents of Sulaibiya to the in-development site of Al-Naayem. On 31 July 2012, Sulaibiya set a new record for the highest temperature in Asia, reaching 53.6 °C (128.5 °F).
