  • Continue to Sadu House, where you will learn about Kuwait's old lifestyle and the Bedouin in the GCC region over the past 6 or 7 decades through a 15-minute documentary video.
  • Visit the Grand Mosque of Kuwait, the largest mosque in the country. Its area spans 45,000 square metres, of which the building covers 20,000 square metres. The main prayer hall is 72 metres wide on all sides and has teakwood doors. Natural lighting is provided by 144 windows. We will have a tour guide on this visit.
  • Head to the Mirror House for a truly unique journey between galaxies, with mirror mosaic tiles adorning the walls and floors of this house museum.
  • Explore the Tareq Rajab Museum, which houses more than 50,000 collections of silver jewellery and a fine collection of gold jewellery, much of which dates from pre-Islamic times. You can also see thousands of works of Arabic calligraphy art.
  • Proceed to the Al Hashemi Marine Museum, which features an impressive collection of large-scale model dhows (old traditional boats), sailing equipment, and boards detailing the area's seafaring history. We have to confirm the visit by phone call.
  • Stop at Thekra, Al Shaheed Park's historical museum, focused on the history of Kuwait, its major battles, and the Gulf War. Other facilities within the museum include the museum's bookshop, a cafeteria overlooking the memorial garden and pools, and a research room for collecting historical data. There are men's and women's prayer rooms within the museum office building. Also visit Habitat, Al Shaheed Park's environmental museum, dedicated to the Kuwait environment and bird migration. The museum has a cafe, a kids' room, a gift shop, a VIP lounge, and a cafeteria opposite the museum entrance. The mosque is located outside in front of the back entrance to the museum, where the men's prayer room is on the ground floor and the women's prayer room is on the lower ground level. Enjoy a 30-minute session to take great photos and videos of the park itself while standing in front of Kuwait City.

Or

  • Stop at Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum, where you can see artifacts at the original site of a storied Gulf War battle, including bombed buildings and vehicles.
  • Walk through the Mubarakiya old souk, the oldest market in Kuwait for handicrafts, perfume, and spices. It also contains a variety of Arab, Indian, Turkish, Lebanese, and Persian food, so we can have a meal there.
  • End the tour with a transfer to the hotel or airport.

Please note that we might change the order depending on the start point or the hotel location. We might also add or replace one of the places with a one-hour boat tour in front of the city's seaside, offering many great views for memorable pictures and videos.
