I had to pick up some kohl from Mubarakiya and I spotted the Sheikh Mubarak Kiosk which I didn't know existed until I got the brochure of museums from the National Museum. Since the celebrations are on I guess they got a couple dudes to dress up in the old Kuwaiti uniforms which was cool and I would like to see some more people dressed up in historical attire when visiting various museums.
The kiosk consists of two levels. It was the headquarters of Sheikh Mubarak Al- Sabah and a plce where he supervised trade, followed up onissues of citizens, resolve their issues and negotiated with them according to the Kuwait Museums guide.
And I am so glad to see some current photos of Kuwait :-) I know exactly where this place is; it used to be covered with grafitti and then they cleaned it up. Isn' t there also a samosa shop nearby which sells "the best samosas in Kuwait?" I love this entry!
ReplyDeleteThey moved the samosa shop but they fixed up the building when it became a heritage site.
