What To Expect
Kuwait Towers
The Kuwait Towers, iconic landmarks in Kuwait City, were completed in 1976 and designed by the Swedish firm of Sune Lindström and Malene Björn. The complex comprises three towers, with the largest featuring a revolving observation deck and restaurant, and the others serving water storage and illumination purposes. Their distinctive design, marked by blue-green 'sequins', symbolizes Kuwait's modern development and cultural heritage.
Grand Mosque
The Grand Mosque of Kuwait, located in Kuwait City, stands as the largest and most significant mosque in Kuwait, reflecting the country's Islamic heritage and architectural grandeur. Completed in 1986, this majestic structure spans over 45,000 square meters, accommodating over 10,000 worshippers. Its design intricately blends traditional Islamic architecture with Kuwaiti cultural motifs, featuring a stunning main prayer hall, elaborate calligraphy, and a striking minaret that towers over the cityscape. The mosque's interior is adorned with opulent decorations, including intricate tile work, grand chandeliers, and a vast, hand-woven carpet, making it a focal point for religious and cultural gatherings in Kuwait.

Beware of this tour company

1.00My issue is NOT with Viator. My issue was with this actual tour company. It was confirmed before we left the United States. We landed in Kuwait and the tour was meant to be the same day as our arrival. We arrived early and as we were exiting the airport, I got a notification that the tour company canceled without any communication at all. And we were only in Kuwait city for one day. I would not book with this to our company ever again and as a matter of fact, I believe that they should be removed from Viator
Enjoy Kuwait

5.00I had an amazing day exploring Kuwait City with our guide, Ali. From the moment we met, he was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel super personal. We hit all the major sights like the Kuwait Towers and Grand Mosque, but what made it special were the little stories Ali shared along the way. He was patient, fun, and even helped us take great photos throughout the day. The panorama of Kuwait City stop was peaceful and beautiful—a perfect way to end the tour. Highly recommend this experience, especially with Ali as your guide!
A Unique Experience with a Local Touch.

5.00I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private tour led by Ali. A definite if you want someone who genuinely cares about showcasing the best of their city. I cannot recommend this tour enough. As a local, Ali brought a unique depth of knowledge and insight into the city’s history, culture and hidden gems that enriched the experience. He took time to craft a custom itinerary based on my interests. This made the tour truly special. From start to finish, the tour was smooth and engaging.
