The Kuwait Towers
The Kuwait Towers, standing majestically on a promontory jutting into the Persian Gulf in Sharq, Kuwait City, serve as the world-famous national symbol of modern Kuwait. Officially opened in March 1979, the iconic group of three reinforced concrete towers combines traditional Islamic architectural motifs with modern engineering. Beneath their shimmering sphere tiles, late-night maintenance staff and visitors speak of quiet spectral presences and lingering war-era ghosts.
