The experience

The tour starts at your hotel or the city center and moves through Kuwait City in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Your guide meets you there and leads the route, which takes roughly nine hours and covers the Grand Mosque (the largest in Kuwait, with 144 windows and teakwood doors), the National Museum founded in 1983, and the oldest market in the country: known for Arab, Indian, Turkish, Lebanese and Persian goods, spices and handcrafts. The pace lets you see a lot without rushing, and you can add more stops if time allows.

The second half of the day includes the Amricani Cultural Centre, originally built as a hospital by the Dutch Reformed Church in the early twentieth century; the Kuwait Towers, three structures built on a promontory into the Persian Gulf; and Al Shaheed Park, the largest urban park in Kuwait with one of the world's largest green roof superstructures. You also visit Sadu House, an art museum near the National Museum, and the Dickson House, a nineteenth-century merchant's residence that later became the British Political Resident's home.

The Maritime Museum rounds out the stops, displaying wooden ships and artifacts from Kuwait's sailing history before oil, including a thousand-year-old bag made of date palm and vessels built from Indian teak. After the guided portion, you get one hour of free time to eat lunch and shop at a location your guide chooses for convenience. The vehicle then returns you to your hotel or the city center.

What is the Grand Mosque like when you visit it?

The Grand Mosque is the largest in Kuwait, covering 45,000 square meters with a main prayer hall 72 meters wide on all sides. It features 144 windows for natural light and teakwood doors. Your guide leads you through it as part of the tour.

Can you add more sights if you finish early?

Yes, the tour allows you to add more sights in Kuwait if you have extra time during the day, so the itinerary can expand beyond the nine main stops.

The Maritime Museum displays about ten wooden ships and artifacts from Kuwait's pre-oil sailing era, including vessels used for pearl diving in the Arabian Gulf and trade with India, plus a thousand-year-old date palm bag and ships built from Indian teak.

After the guided tour ends, you get one hour of free time. Your guide drops you at a convenient location where you can have lunch and browse shops.
