Seif Palace (Arabic, قصر السيف) is a palace in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Located opposite the Grand Mosque, one of Seif Palace’s best-known features is the watch tower, covered in blue tiles and with a roof plated in pure gold.[1] Local materials such as clay, rocks, limestone, wood and metals were used in its construction.
The tower of the Seif Palace received a direct hit from an incoming missile during the first Gulf War (1990-91) which destroyed the dial room. Smith of Derby Group replaced the iconic clock, and were the only non-US company to be awarded a contract in this reconstructive period.

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

Good evening, Kuwait

Perfect view from the evening of one day of July 2011, Kuwait City, with the lights of buildings, from heart of the city, with urban development, and beautiful designs for each building, and in the foreground, boats, yachts, in lines nicely in the marina, and how beautiful roar of the machines, issued by the boats, in round-trip. God save Kuwait
منظر من مساء أحد أيام يوليو 2011 ، لمدينة الكويت ، برداء أضواء المباني، من قلب المدينة، حيث الازدهار والتقدم ، والتصاميم الجميلة لكل مبنى، وفي المقدمة ، قوارب ويخوت، مصطفة في في خطوط تحتضنها المراسي ، وكم جميل صوت هدير المكائن ، الصادر من القوارب ، في رحلة الذهاب والإياب.
حفظ الله الكويت

The Kuwait Towers are three towers of reinforced concrete in Kuwait City , opened to the public in March of 1979 , in the photo is the second tower it's 145.8 metres high and serves as a water tower.

The existing buildings were wooden, and single storey. These were some new buildings to replace the old ones.
I finished college in 1981 and had my first fulltime job. I taught as an elementary school teacher in Kuwait that fall. I went with a classmate from home and new friends who were new hires too. It was the first time we'd been overseas. The world seems like a much different place.
These images are rough due to the age of the photographs. Over time, I may do a bit of editing on these.
