About Kuwait Towers
The Kuwait Towers rise above the Gulf waterfront in Kuwait City, three slender concrete towers completed in 1977 that have become the country's best-known landmark. The tallest of the three carries two of the structure's signature blue-green mosaic globes, one holding a rotating observation deck and restaurant, the other a water tank.
The third, smaller tower works as a water tower and is lit at night alongside its taller companions, together forming one of the most photographed skylines on the Arabian Gulf. The observation deck inside the main globe turns slowly, giving visitors a full circuit of views over Kuwait City, the Gulf, and the waterfront corniche below.
Why Visit Kuwait Towers?
Local story
Good to Know
The towers suit families, couples, groups and photographers, for a visit of 1 to 2 hours. The observation deck's restaurant is a popular spot for a meal with a view, so booking ahead is worthwhile at busy times.
The surrounding corniche is a pleasant place for an evening walk before or after visiting the towers, especially once the Gulf breeze picks up in the evening.
