Hi everyone, I live in kuwait. So I thought I can first start with writingabout Kuwait. In this review, I’ll tell u all abt kuwait and tell u abtall the touristic places. People have a general impression that kuwaitis not a touristic place---which is partly true, but you can have a lot of fun here if you about the right places to go.
Tourism
Though there are not many historical places in kuwait, u will be surprised at how many things u can do in such a small country! Let’s get started with the places to see:-
The Kuwait towers- The symbol of kuwait. The kuwait towers consist of 3 towers with pointed spires. From the top u can see an amazing view of the city. There is a restaurant and some shops. Notmuch to do in it but it is the symbol of the country and is very beautiful.
Liberation towers:- Rumoured to be the highest communication bldg in da world. Again, u can go up and see a view ofthe city.
- The Entertainment City:- This is one of my favourite places in kuwait. It is a HUGE entertainment park having great rides and is a very fun place. It is a must to see wen u come to Kuwait. You need atleast one whole day to check out the whole place
4.Shaab garden:- Again another entertainment park. Its also extremely nice but I find Entertainment city better. If u have time, u can checkit out.(By the way, there are many entertainment parks in kwt but theseare the main.)
- Scientific center:- This is also one of myfavourite place in kuwait. It is TOTALLY AWESOME. website:- http://www.tsck.org.kw/ This place is located beside the sea. It has 5 main attractions. The I-MAX 3d theatre (biggest in gulf), aquarium (biggestin mid east again) , discovery place, dhow harbour and gift shop alongwith restaurants like burger king etc. The imax 3d is totally cool.
I cant really say it in words. You’ve gotta check it out yourself! Then there is the aquarium, there are no walls, only glass filled with water and fishes of all kind, Even sharks! Itslike u r walking in a sea. Then there are the rock caves and humid jungle where the temperature and atmosphere are changed to resemble those of the caves and jungles. They r also very nice. Then there isthe dhow(arabian ship). The biggest one in the world! If u come to kuwait, the scientific center is a MUST!
Museums:- Check out the national museum, Tareq al rejab etc. etc.
Ihave one tip for u guys, when u come to kuwait, PLEASE TAKE A COPY OFKUWAIT ZOOM. It will give u all the info u need abt kwt. The rest allplaces to see are shopping malls which are really nice and other thingswhich I will tell you now.
Shopping:- Shopping is amazing overhere. For clothes, you can visit the numerous no. of malls in kuwait. My favorite is Marina mall. You can get jeans for abt 2.5 Kd in places like Sana, landmark and lulu (the clothes they have are very gud).
If youwant branded ones like gap or something, you can get them for abt 18-19bucks, but in sale, u get them for only 7-8!! Rest all clothes are verygood also. There are many shops for anything u want, for home items, I would recommend Safat alghanim, homes r us, ikea, true value etc. etc.
Failaka Island:
You can just check it out with friends. There is an old greek temple there and it was place visited by ancient sea travellers to trade.
Ahmadi:
Thisis the place where I live in. It is wonderful. There are loads of gardens and it looks nothing like a desert. It is the greenest place inthe whole of kuwait and its beautiful. It is a truly spectacular placeto visit if you come here during the end of feb because the lighting they put up for the liberation day is spectacular.
Fahaheel:
Thereis the al-kout mall to visit and the beach. It is filled with all types of shops and is more useful to people staying here than tourists.
Salmiya:
This is the place to visit. Loads of things to do and loads of malls tocheck out like Marina, fanar etc. The people here are extremely westernso u don’t have to worry about the clothes that you are wearing.
Mosques:
The grand mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world and is spectacular. So are many other mosques.
Thereare many other things like ice skating. The olympic size rink issituated in kuwait city. Beside it are the 4th largest musicalfountains in the world. You can check that out also. Plus there are desert camps and safaris organised every now and then. Mesilla beach is a very famous beach in kuwait. There are many different kinds of watersports facilities available in many different places.
Hotels:
Thereare many hotels like the hilton in fintas, crowne plaza near salmiya, holiday inn in the middle of kuwait city, mariott in kuwait city, radisson sas, safir international, etc. but the more affordable onesare Downtown sheraton, New park hotel, Continental hotel, safir airporthotel, carlton tower, ritz, oasis, downtown holiday inn, courtyarmariott.
