 Wally and David at Kuwait Aquarium You need an international driver’s license to be able to drive in Kuwait and it is a bit tricky to get around the city. As a result, we have a hired a driver to get us back and forth to work and to different locations throughout the workday. David is our professional driver. He has lived and worked here in Kuwait for about 10 years, so he knows his way around. |
 David was kind enough to show me around Kuwait on my last day off (April 8). We toured the city and saw many of the local sites that I would never have been able to find on my own. One of our first stops was at the iconic Kuwait towers. The tallest tower has an observation deck approximately 120 meters high. The view of the city is pretty impressive from this location. |
 Kuwait city center has many high rise office buildings and it is obvious that the architects are encouraged to bring innovation and creativity to their designs. |
 Several of the towers have a “twist” to them. They are beautiful to look at. I would love to get up close and inside them sometime. |
 Next along the way was a stop at the Kuwait Public Market. This is an incredible place with huge fresh fish and fresh produce market buildings side-by-side. We were there on a Friday afternoon and the place was full of people shopping, talking and visiting with each other. I look forward to coming back to this spot to do some shopping myself! |
 We stopped at a beach so I could get a nice photo of the Kuwait Towers and the Arabian Gulf. The view was fantastic and the wind and water conditions were perfect for sailing. I wish I could find a dingy for rent somewhere! David took me to many other places and we had a great time. I look foward to getting some more opportunities to explore Kuwait and to get to know the city and the country better. |
