Top tips for Abu Dhabi to Kuwait City
Take a tour of the Grand Mosque
Reminiscent of the spectacular Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, no visit to Kuwait City would be complete without visiting its opulent Grand Mosque.
The elegant features – including huge chandeliers, marble and mosaic detailing and a palm tree-lined courtyard – make it a great place to visit.
Admire the city's beauty
Like the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Kuwait’s Mirror House is a work of art in itself. This bizarre and beautiful building is covered inside and out with mirror mosaics, resulting in a delightfully eccentric attraction that doubles as an art gallery. Other impressive buildings in the city include the Kuwait Tower and Liberation Tower, seen in most cityscapes.
