Due to an unplanned stopover flight I spend 2 days in Kuwait City and visited the Mosque. The Mosquee is huge and marvelous but I'm actually writing not a review of the Mosque but only thank the Mosque Staff for it's great welcome and the great hospitality. They served us fresh drinks and food and guided through the Mosque's areas explaining and teaching us about Mosque history. Thank you again and greetings from Italy.

Tareq Rajab Museum of Islamic Calligraphy

Reviewed By katieko

A really beautiful collection of intricate and ancient Calligraphy in books and art, in a lovely setting. Friendly staff too, one of the absolute highlights of my trip. It is a little outside the town centre but well worth the taxi ride.

Amricani Cultural Centre

Reviewed By RLTB1

The Amricani Cultural Centre is one of the best museums in Kuwait. The museum covers artifacts from the region from ~7,000 BC onward. Some of what is impressive about this museum is the age of the artifacts and the sophistication in the design of those artifacts. For example, most bronze statues from the Ancient Roman Empire were melted down for other uses in subsequent times, such that few such metal statues remain. By contrast, this museum has a few metal statues from thousands of years prior to Ancient Rome. For example, the museum exhibits a large female metal statue of a goddess, a metal statue of a man pulling a bull, and a metal statue of a ram with a candelabra on top, just to name a few. The museum exhibits artifacts demonstrating sophisticated cultures in the region from many millennia ago. It is remarkable that these artifacts have lasted thousands of years. As another example, this museum has one of the oldest Persian rugs in the world. Also of note is an extensive collection of sophisticated jewelry pieces, often made of gold and/or other precious metals / stones. For example, the museum displays serpentine gold bracelets for a male ruler from many millennia ago. This museum is on par with the Freer-Sackler Galleries in Washington D.C. To review all pieces in detail, it could take a few hours. The museum’s exhibits are in both Arabic and English. There are no audio guides or pamphlets in Arabic or English. You may be able to arrange for an English or Arabic-speaking guide. For several hours in the day, the museum sees very few visitors. You may have this museum all to yourself.

This is by far the best art museum in the Middle East. It is simply amazing. Authentic, genuine Kuwaiti artistic soul and mesmerizing art. God bless Lydia Al-Qattan, the most genuine and kind-hearted old lady. She is the true face of Kuwait ????????❤️
