Kuwait Towers

The temperature here is just edging into the 20s now so I thought it would be nice to get out and have a walk and see some sights. A lady at work had suggested going to the Kuwait Towers as it's on the sea front and a nice walk. Unfortunately I read on Trip Advisor last night that the towers are closed for refurbishment so we couldn't go up the observation tower. That would have been good to get our bearings in the city. It's not a big place though. There's the city, the surrounding villages and then desert! I can picture Google Maps most of the time to know roughly where I am lol.

The towers are quite impressive and it was a nice walk along the beach. There were lots of local families out on the beach and cafes and restaurants along the front. The public beaches here obviously aren't for sunbathing but they seem quite popular for picnics etc.
