When to Kuwait?

During this time, visitors can enjoy the beautiful beaches, watch the pulse in the city squares and attend cultural events under the starry sky.

One of the main attractions in Kuwait is the Kuwait Towers, a stunning landmark that dominates the city. The three towers are decorated with intricate Islamic motifs and offer breathtaking views of the city. The Liberation Tower is another iconic building that stands at an impressive height of 372 meters and serves as a symbol of Kuwait's liberation from Iraq in 1991.
History buffs should visit Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum. The museum commemorates the Kuwaiti resistance during the Gulf War and is a moving tribute to the brave men and women who fought for their country. Another historical point of interest is the archaeological site of Failaka Island, located off the coast of Kuwait in the Arabian Gulf. Despite its small size, the island has a rich history dating back thousands of years, as it was an important trading post for the Dilmun civilization. Under Greek colonization, the island became an important Hellenistic city.
