TRAVEL KUWAIT

HIDDEN SECRET OF THE MIDDLE EAST

We visited Kuwait during February 2000. Wide streets, beautiful parks and gardens, high-rise office buildings, luxury hotels, unusual towers, and interesting shopping Malls, more than we had expected. Hotels range from deluxe to first and second class. Prices are generally high. We stayed in the SAS, Radisson Hotel which have a first class total customer satisfaction policy and they certainly live up to it.

Al Boom restaurant within the SAS grounds was exceptional too. Al Boom" is a traditional Kuwaiti sailing dhow which is anchored on the waterfront and has been transformed into a 70-seat grill restaurant. The Al Boom is a magnificent timber dhow,authentic in every detail.
