About Kuwait City

Kuwait City is a Gulf capital on a bay, with striking modern towers, old souqs, a grand mosque and a long maritime past.

Kuwait City lies on the southern shore of Kuwait Bay in the north-western Gulf, a capital of wide highways, modern towers and a long waterfront corniche. Its symbol is the Kuwait Towers, three slender spires finished in 1979, the tallest with a sphere that holds a restaurant and a viewing platform. The Grand Mosque, with a huge central dome, stands near the Seif Palace and the old centre.
