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 • Admission Ticket FreeView LocationAlseif palace(Pass By)
Arabian gulf street, Kuwait City, KuwaitThe 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.View Location2

From medical buildings to cultural facilities, the buildings that make up the Amricani Cultural Centre have served the people of Kuwait since the late 1930s.
Originally built as the American hospitals for women and men, the buildings incorporated arched verandas that were visually appealing, conducive to socialization, and provided ventilation and cooling breezes in the warm summer months. As hospitals, the buildings served Kuwait for almost thirty years.
Today, the buildings continue to serve the community. The former women’s hospital is the temporary home of the Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah administrative offices and the library. The larger building, originally the men’s hospital, is a training museum that includes two current exhibitions, Splendors of the Ancient East: Antiquities from the al-Sabah Collection and Story of Amricani, and temporary exhibition space.
