Kuwait City

Clubs, Discos, Alcohol and Rock Concerts are banned in Kuwait.
It is a boring place to visit and a city where there is little to see other than a few malls and the coastline.
In many ways it appears suspended in time.
Dubai in the UAE on the other hand is now a ‘world city’ poorer than Kuwait when it started, but clearly a pathbreaker in the region.

Kuwait..ahh..good old Kuwait. I come from a Palestinian home but my dad and mom moved to Kuwait in the 60’s till the early 80’s for work. My mom was a housewife of 5 children and my dad worked full time for an American Life Insurance company. I was born in Portland, Oregon in 1984 and flew back to Kuwait when I was only a week old. I remember it though, I ended up living in Kuwait for 5-7 years before it got invaded by Iraq. I have to admit though, it was so much fun. When the invasion happened my family and I were in Portland visiting my college brother and sisters. I remember having to write a paper in middle school about your home. And ended up witting it about Kuwait and how Saddam Hussein should be assassinated and swore up and down that I would some day enter politics because to me, i felt like Kuwait was my real home and Portland (even though i was born in it) was my 2nd home or my visiting home. Remember, i used to fly between Portland and Kuwait every month with my mom. Oh gosh, what a beautiful memory. I’m dying to go back and see my old house.

Kuwait City is a beautiful sprawling city, the largest in kuwait, which is about the size of New Jersey. The Kuwaiti people are very friendly and supportive of americans and the city provides a great chance for people to get a taste of the Arabic culture, arts and cuisine in a safer environment. The Persian Gulf is a fabulous beautiful green and the Kuwaiti Towers is a must visit! The view from the top tower is breathtaking. The food in the Tower restaurant is also excellent. I had a wonderful time exploring this fascinating and complex city.

..People filmed me saying things like, `it’s like a hairdryer blowing on your face. All the time.’

This place is very hot in dry if you like that go visit.
