Kuwait Marine Museum

On the property of the Radisson SAS Hotel, right beside the big Al Hashemi II is the Kuwait Marine Museum.
I admit, I expected a little bit more, but it’s nice to visit nonetheless.
It has two small halls, filled with various boats in small versions and plates in front of them that describe what they are and what they were used for.

Most pictures turned out too dark & blurry though :(

I give you a little tour without many words:

They also have boats from other cultures ;)

Again, sorry for the quality, but better pictures from the big Al Hashemi II will follow in the next few days, promise :)

If you would like to have more information about traditional boats in the Gulf, check out this webpage !

OK, I know I promised more pictures of this Beauty.

But I also wanted to provide some Information of what this ship is about.
I know I had some somewhere, but I can’t find it.
I found a whole lot of new links for my Kuwait collection though.
Seems like Kuwait is finally getting the idea of better marketing their place to get Tourists.
Still way to go, but someone is doing something ;)

I’ll keep looking and post the whole Set - with information - as soon as I have found it :)
Promise.
