Caption: KUWAIT WALKING AROUND
Picture
Caption: Kuwait is an incredible place. The city is like an oasis in the desert land. Kuwait combines traditional Arabic and modern architecture, it is also a city under construction, however there are still destroyed areas after the Iraqi invasion in 1990.
Walking through the city is quite adventurous as there are usually no sidewalks or crossings over the road. Locals take a taxi, so we did too, but price was everytime unpredictable. Most of the drivers don’t have any license. Paradoxically my cheapest ride was the one with an official taxi driver.
The sky was cloudless during the day, pinky in the evening.
I was in Kuwait for three days during #kfpar tour and enjoyed it much.
