Sulaibikhat Cemetery (Arabic: مقبرة الصليبخات) is the largest cemetery in Kuwait, where many dead have been buried since the 1960s until now. The cemetery is divided into two parts: the Sunni cemetery, which opened in 1976, and the Ja'fari cemetery, which opened in 1973, so named for its presence in the Sulaibikhat area. In the north-east of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti martyrs have a special section in the cemetery.
