KUWAIT CITY
POP 1.5 MILLION
With its landmark triple towers looming over a clean and accessible corniche; a first-class
aquarium and some excellent museums; stunning pieces of marine and land architecture;
malls and souqs to please the most discerning or eclectic of shoppers; and a selection of
restaurants to whet the appetite of the fussiest gourmands, Kuwait City is a sophisticated
and interesting destination in its own right. Add to its sights and attractions a harrowing
layer of modern history, the effects of which rumble invisibly below the surface, and there
is enough to keep all but the dedicated nightclubber intrigued for days.
