A bright turquoise day begins at the waterfront where the Kuwait Towers puncture the skyline and the sea nudges the promenade with a salt-sweet breeze. The tour moves with purpose—first the iconic towers, then down to the fish market where wooden dhows bob and the morning catch still glitters on ice. Walking here feels direct: paved streets, sea air, calls from vendors, and the steady hum of a city reoriented around both oil wealth and older trading networks.
