View Mesmerizing Architecture With Car Rental Kuwait City

Kuwait City is the capital, as well as the political, economical, and cultural hub of the Arabian Emirate of Kuwait. While it has plenty of malls and souks to please shopaholics, and a fine selection of restaurants for foodies, its real appeal lies in the architectural gems that dominate its skyline.

Old Kuwaiti buildings were constructed with rubble stone, Cora stone, and mud plaster. Today, very little of these old buildings remain. The discovery of oil has brought great economic prosperity, transforming the city into a busy metropolis with wide streets, luxury hotels and high-rise buildings in the international style.

With a car rental in Kuwait City, you can view one of the most prominent examples of Kuwaiti architecture – The Kuwait Towers. This group of three towers has become a cultural icon and a symbol of modern Kuwait. The towers carry three spheres, reminiscent of the domes of ancient mosques, covered in enameled steel discs in blue, green and grey. The lower half of the first sphere in the main tower holds a water tank while the upper half carries a restaurant, café, and reception hall. The second sphere is the “Viewing Sphere” which rotates 360 degrees in 30 minutes thus providing a panoramic view of the city and the Arabian Gulf. Another famous landmark is the Kuwait National Assembly Building located in Old Kuwaiti Town. Inspired by traditional Islamic architecture, it was designed by Jorn Utzon, the Danish architect who also designed the Sydney Opera House. The sweeping roofs of this imposing structure were built to mimic the styles of Bedouin tents.

Drive through the city with a car rental in Kuwait City to witness a symbol of Kuwait’s liberation from Iraq – the Liberation Tower. Formerly known as the Kuwait Telecommunications Tower, this is the second tallest structure in Kuwait and the fifth-tallest telecommunications tower in the world. It too has a luxury restaurant and a revolving viewing centre. One shouldn’t miss a visit to Kuwait’s largest mosque – the Grand Mosque. An exquisite example of Islamic architecture, the Grand Mosque has 21 teakwood doors and 144 windows, while its dome is decorated with the 99 names of God. Kuwait City’s mesmerizing architecture is a reflection of its growing prosperity and is a visual treat for any visitor.
