Locals refer to it as Al-Masjid Al-Kabir with total area of 46,000 square meters (490,000 sq ft), in that the building itself covers 20,000 square meters (220,000 sq ft). The Grand mosque is internationally renowned for its Islamic architecture and it has become one of Kuwait's most treasured landmarks. Indeed, the builders and designers have put a lot of effort in creating this mosque starting the project way back in 1979 and finally completing it seven years later in 1986 at a cost of about KD 14 million. Grand Mosque is popular for its prayer arrangement during the last 10 days of Ramadan. Thousands of Muslims gather during last 10 days of Ramadan.
45 minutes
Alseif palace (Pass By)
The Seif Palace is popular among local and overseas visitors as the home of the royal family. Nevertheless, they might be surprised to find out that this palace does not get much used by the Monarch and the government. While it is true that this palace is designated to the Emir dynasty, the household personally chose to stay in Bayan Palace which is known as the official house of the Emir and this is also the place where the monarch would entertain his dignitaries. Therefore, the Seif palace only serves as the court if there are special celebrations and events, or if the Bayan Palace is not available. However, thousands of travelers every year go to see this fine building.
Sadu House
Several museums in Kuwait showcase the country’s history, its art, artifacts, archeological findings and even information on the Gulf War.

The Sadu House is a beautiful, traditional Kuwaiti styled house where visitors can discover the Bedouin art of weaving, its styles and history.

Dar Al Athar Al Islamiya (Pass By)

As hospitals, the buildings served Kuwait for almost thirty years.

"I had the pleasure of having Waleed as my city tour guide, and it was an unforgettable experience! As a female solo traveler, I felt extremely safe and comfortable with Waleed throughout the tour. He was incredibly patient, sharing his vast knowledge of the city's history and landmarks with me. What impressed me most was his genuine concern for my well-being, ensuring I was comfortable and happy throughout the tour. Waleed also doubled as an excellent photographer, capturing memorable moments from my trip. He even took me to a souvenir shop, helping me find unique mementos to bring back home. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made my solo journey even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Waleed as a tour guide to anyone, especially solo female travelers, seeking a personalized, informative, and enjoyable experience. Five stars and thanks again, Waleed!"
