When the sandstone is transformed into quartzite, the quartz grains that were already there are crystallized again along with the cementitious material that was previously present in the sandstone, and the new quartz crystals are fused together. Most or all of the old sandstone texture and sedimentary structure will be completely removed by metamorphism and replaced by a new structure.

Located on Bubiyan Island in northern Kuwait, Bubiyan Port is a strategic deep-water port project that is under development. Once completed, it is expected to become a major transshipment hub in the region, connecting Kuwait to global trade routes. The port will have advanced container handling facilities and industrial zones.
