| Kuwait City Attractions &
Guide |
| |
| |
In the years since liberation, Kuwait City has
developed into a remarkably easygoing place, though not
without a price. The National Museum, once the pride of
Kuwait and its centrepiece, used to house the Al-Sabah
collection, one of the most important collections of
Islamic art in the world. During the occupation,
however, the Iraqis systematically looted the exhibit
halls. Having cleaned out the building, |
|
 |
|
| |
they smashed everything they could and then set
what was left on fire. A hall at the back of the museum
complex's courtyard has been restored and is sometimes used for
temporary exhibits. Because of the loss of the National Museum's
treasures, the Tareq Rajab Museum, a private collection
of Islamic art housed in the basement of a large villa, is all
the more important. |
|
A small building near the National Museum, Sadu House is a
museum and cultural foundation dedicated to preserving Bedouin
arts and crafts. It's also the best place in Kuwait to buy
Bedouin goods. The house itself is built of gypsum and coral,
and there's some beautiful decorative carving around the
courtyard. More impressive to the country's Muslims is the huge,
modern Grand Mosque, opened in 1986, which cost millions to
build and can accommodate over 5500 worshippers.
Designed by a Swedish architectural firm and opened in 1979, the
Kuwait Towers have become Kuwait's main landmark. The largest of
the three rises to a height of 187m (615ft). The upper globe
houses a two-level observation deck, which is open daily and
overlook the Arabian Gulf. The largest tower's lower globe has a
restaurant, coffee shop and banquet rooms. |

Failaka Island
The home of Kuwait's main archaeological site, Failaka is
definitely worth a visit, though it requires a bit of extra
caution. The Iraqis turned Failaka into a heavily fortified
base and filled the area with mines.
Failaka's history goes back to the Bronze Age Dilmun
civilisation, which was centred in Bahrain. The Greeks
arrived in the 4th century BC in the form of a garrison sent
by Nearchus, one of Alexander the Great's admirals. A small
settlement existed on the island prior to this, but it was
as the Greek town of Ikaros that the settlement became a
real city. The Greeks lived on Failaka for two centuries.
The centrepiece of the island is its temple.
Failaka is about 20km (12mi) north-east of Kuwait City's
centre and well served by ferries, which depart daily from
Arabian Gulf St just south of the city centreAl Ahmadi
City |
Built to house Kuwait's oil industry in the 1940s and
'50s, Al-Ahmadi was named for the then emir, Shaikh Ahmed.
It remains, to a great extent, the private preserve of the
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). The Oil Display Centre is a small,
well-organised and rather self-congratulatory introduction
to KOC and the oil business. Al-Ahmadi also has a small,
pleasant public garden that's worth a visit.
Al-Ahmadi is about 20km (12mi) south of Kuwait City.
