Tauchen Sie ein in die arabische Welt der Moscheen und Märkte und entdecken Sie das Besondere der Stadt
Kuwait City. Besichtigen Sie zum Beispiel die Grand Mosque, eine der größten Moscheen im Nahen Osten, das City Gate, ein übriggebliebener Teil der alten Stadtmauer oder das vor über 100 Jahren von einer
Händlerfamilie erbaute Al-Sadu House, das heute eine Ausstellung arabischer Webkunst beherbergt. Im Dhow
-Hafen, der zu Zeiten errichtet wurde, als Kuwait noch vom Perlentauchen lebte, können Sie alte Dhows besichtigen. Futuristisch
Neben den traditionellen Souks wie dem Gold Souk, dem Alten Markt, dem Dattelmarkt und den Fischmarkt,
finden Sie hier auch hypermoderne Einkaufszentren, in denen es von den noblen Designer-Boutiquen bis zu
den typischen Souvenirgeschäften alles gibt. Allerdings sind Artikel wie Foto- und Elektrogeräte, Uhren,
Parfums, Stoffe und Andenken auf den Souks - nach gründlichem Handeln - meistens wesentlich billiger zu erstehen als in den Einkaufszentren.

Bayt Al-Badr
An old house located next to Al-Sadu house, Bayt Al-Badr was built between 1838 and 1848. It possesses a
fine example of the famous front doors of old Kuwait. Local handicrafts are sometimes displayed here.
Liberation Tower
The symbol of Kuwaiti liberation, the unmistakable sign of the country's resurgence, the Liberation Tower is one of the tallest telecommunications towers in the world.
Parelduiken - Parelduiken
Pearls (dana), not oil, once formed the basis of Kuwait's wealth. Now, annual pearl diving festivals help
today's generation experience the excitement and hardship that their forefathers faced. Such festivals are a tribute to men who dedicated their lives to the pearling industry.
Vissen
Besides zubaidi and hamout, fish of almost every conceivable shape and variety in the waters off Kuwait are
there for the taking. The range of fish includes six different types of shark, two types of barracuda, stinging
and non-stinging ray fish, four varieties of mackerel and tuna, and an array of soles, breams, snappers, rock
and cat fish, flounders, cobias, puffers and needlefish. You can go fishing with sophisticated long casting
rods, from prominent rocks and the ends of piers using simple poles, lines and hooks or wire baskets to catch
fry from the water off the beaches using nets held by several persons, from boats using trawls and multi
-hooked lines. Many of the experts use home-made equipment. Both simple and sophisticated fishing tackle is available in the shops.

Kuwait is a sailor's paradise. The seas offshore is seldom really rough, but there is nearly always a moderate
breeze. Boats range from small sailing dinghies to large yachts. The Yatch Club has a marina with 300 fully
serviced berths. Many of the sea clubs have marinas and organise sailing activities. The Kuwait Offshore Sailing Association organises races, including one from Kuwait to Bahrain.

Geschiedenis van Kuweit
Archaeological finds on Failaka, the largest of Kuwait's nine islands, suggests it was a trading post at the time
of the ancient Sumerians. Failaka appears to have continued to serve as a market for approximately 2,000
years, and was known to the ancient Greeks. Despite its long history as a market and sanctuary for traders,
Failaka appears to have been abandoned as a permanent settlement in the 1st century A.D. Kuwait's modern
history began in the 18th century with the founding of the city of Kuwait by the Uteiba, a subsection of the Anaiza tribe, who are believed to have traveled north from Qatar.

Kuwait: The Growth of a Historic Identity - B.J. Slot (Editor)
The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 - 1 placed the questions of Kuwait's origins and statehood under the
spotlight as never before, making them a matter of pressing concern both for the Kuwaitis themselves and for
the world at large. During the 1990s a great deal of scholarly effort has been focused on the particular
circumstances of Kuwait's emergence as a state, and as a result much new material has been brought to
light. This series of papers, presented at Peterhouse College, Cambridge, on 19 May 1995 by five leading
scholars in the field, explores the historical, political and social processes which governed the birth, survival, prosperity and ultimate sovereignty of this unique Arab maritime polity.

The Ottoman Gulf: The Creation of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, 1870-1914
Frederick F. Anscombe
Aiming to dispel the notion that Britain is exclusively responsible for the formation of the Persian Gulf's modern
states, this text puts into perspective the central roles played by the Ottoman empire and explains the reasons behind the Ottoman occupation of the Persian Gulf in 1871.

Nationaal Museum van Koeweit
The museum was once a treasure trove for the Dar Al-Athar al-Islamiyah, the Al-Sabah collection of Islamic
art, one of the most comprehensive in the world. Other buildings housed pearl diving relics, ethnographical artifacts and archaeological material from excavations on Failaka Island.
The Iraqi invasion destroyed the museum almost completely. However, Kuwaiti resilience to the loot and
plunder has emerged the winner: the museum is in the process of being restored and some exhibits are again open to the public, including parts of the Dar Al-Athar al-Islamiyah collection.
Sadu House
Kuwait's roots are entwined with both the sea and the desert. The bedouins lived a life governed by the rhythm of the seasons. A traditional craft of major importance was Sadu weaving, characterised by
geometric designs woven by hand with dyed, spun and coloured wool. Sadu weaving is still alive in the nomadic culture, which gave birth to it.
Tareq Rajab Museum
The Museum is the private collection of the Rajab family. The collection was started in the early 1950s and
was opened to the general public in 1980. The Museum is divided into two sections. One Section deals with
calligraphy, pottery, metalwork, glass, wood, ivory and jade carvings of the Islamic world. Early calligraphy is
presented in a separate small room, showing pages from the Holy Qur'an, dating back to the first three
centuries of the Islamic period. It also contains an early dated Qur'an written on parchment, dating to
393AH/AD1002. Later examples display calligraphic panels., inscriptions which were cut, or in brail script.
The second Section of the Museum deals with the costumes, textiles, embroideries and jewellery of the Islamic world, but also includes relevant objects from Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan.
