I first taught elementary school students English and Science in Kuwait. I was at Al-Bayan School from 1981 to 1983. These were some photos taken during my time there.
The Kuwait Towers are three towers of reinforced concrete in Kuwait City.
The main tower is 187 metres high and serves as a restaurant and water tower.
It also has a Viewing Sphere which rises to 123 meters above sea level and completes a full round turn every 30 minutes.
The second tower is 145.8 metres high and serves as a water tower
The third tower houses equipment to control the flow of electricity and illuminates the two bigger towers.
The towers were designed by Sune Lindström and Malene Björn and were built by Energoprojekt, a company from Belgrade, Serbia.
They opened to the public in March of 1979.
The towers were damaged heavily by the Iraqis during their occupation of Kuwait from 1990 to 1991. In 1992, after the liberation of Kuwait City during the First Gulf War, Vic Clarke of Nottingham UK abseiled the Kuwait Water Towers during structural surveys. Mr. Clarke was introduced into Kuwait by Mr. Michael Stewart, of The Stewart Group International, also from Nottingham UK.
There was substantial shell and bullet damage to the exterior of the towers.
The interior damage was mainly to electrical gear, mostly lift equipment.
Some of the large triangular glazed panels shown in the photograph, were also damaged by shell fire.

I went to Alwafra with some family members, located close to the southern border of Kuwait. It is one of the rare areas where agriculture can work in this desert country. I had fun time shooting my cousins and some kids. I also shot some birds, horses, and monkeys in their cages. For those who think it is Emarati 3a9amyiah, it is just a random tie my cousin made around his head. update: he told me he can do the 3a9amiah well :P

Kuwait Towers is a group of three slender towers in Kuwait City, standing on a promontory into the Persian Gulf. They were officially inaugurated on 26 February 1977 and are rated as a landmark and symbol of modern Kuwait.
The main tower is 187 meters high and carries two spheres. The lower sphere holds in its bottom half a water tank of 4,500 cubic meters and in its upper half a restaurant for 90 persons, a café, a lounge and a reception hall. The upper sphere which rises to 123 meters above the sea level and completes a full turn every 30 minutes.
The second tower is 147 meters high and serves as a water tower. The third tower houses equipment to control the flow of electricity and illuminates the two larger towers. The towers hold 9,000 cubic meters of water altogether.
Kuwait Towers were designed by the Danish architect Malene Björn as part of a water distribution project, run by the Swedish engineering companyVBB since 1997. Chief architect of the company Sune Lindström erected five groups of his typical "mushroom" water towers, the Kuwait Water Towers, but the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed, wanted a more attractive design for the sixth site. Out of ten different designs, three were presented to the Amir, who chose this one.
Projecting ofKuwait Towers was done by VBB, who commissioned the actual building task to the Energoprojekt Companyof Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
The towers were built in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete. They cost 4,700,000 KD which is around 16,540,000 USD. Building was executed in 1971-1976 and the main tower was opened to the publicon 1 March 1979.
According tothe architect, the Kuwait Tower group refers to ideals of humanity andtechnology, symbolized by the globe and the rocket. Kuwait Towers were, together with theKuwait Water Towers, awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (1980 Cycle).
During the First Gulf War 1990-1991,then opened to public once again after amendments. In 2012, the towers wereclosed for extra amendments and didn’t open yet till this day but still sparkleall the way as you pass by them on the Arabian Gulf road. courtesy :rinnoo. net

The existing buildings were wooden, and single storey. These were some new buildings to replace the old ones.
The National Assembly of Kuwait, known as the Majlis Al-Umma ("House of the Nation") (Arabic: مجلس الأمة), is the legislature of Kuwait. The current speaker of the Assembly is Jassem Al-Kharafi. The Emir unconstitutionally dissolved the National Assembly in 1986 and restored it after the Gulf War in 1992. The Emir has also constitutionally dissolved the Assembly several times—meaning that he dissolved it but allowed for elections immediately afterward.
