5. KUWAIT NATIONAL MUSEUM (2 HOURS)<br />

The Kuwait National Museum brings you face to face with the past of Kuwait with ancient<br />

artefacts. Built in 1983, this museum has 5 <strong>com</strong>plexes and you can see archeological<br />

pots and a dhow here along with a planetarium. From here, the Green Island is a great<br />

place to head to for relaxing.<br />

6. GREEN ISLAND (3 HOURS)<br />

The Green Island is an artificially built island off the coast of Kuwait City and is the first<br />

one in Arabian Gulf. You can find a swimming pool and a vast expanse of garden with<br />

beaches all around the island. You could visit the tourist tower or enjoy some of the<br />

attractions there like a train ride and soap football.<br />

7. SOUQ AL MUBARAKEYA (3 HOURS)<br />

If you’re looking for a place that is bustling with activity, you should head over to the<br />

Souq Al Mubarakeya. It is one of the oldest souqs in the country and you can find<br />

all traditional things here like Persian silk carpets, perfumes, spices, dates, traditional<br />

clothes and what not! As a tourist, this is a place that you simply cannot miss when<br />

visiting Kuwait.<br />

If you can squeeze in some time to relax, do check out Al Shaheed Park where you<br />

can laze around in the lush environs of the garden or can explore the museums and<br />

the botanical gardens. They also have restaurants where you can satiate your hunger<br />

pangs.<br />

There’s so much to do in Kuwait that a day is indeed not sufficient enough to cover<br />

it. However, you can definitely get a glimpse of this country in a day and carry back<br />

truckloads of memories with you.<br />
