The Weekly Ten

Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Kuwait

10 – Beirut Street, Hawalli

Beautiful at any time of year, Beirut Street will provide visitors with an unforgettable experience. The perfect place to get pirated CD's, DVD's, and computer software. Is also aesthetically pleasing, with more misspelt synonyms for "computer" than you thought possible.

9 – The Marina Mall Safari

Take a seat on any one of the benches at Marina Mall and stare at the weird and wonderful creatures before you. An experience that will depress you, but ultimately leave you wanting to come back the next day.

8 – The Water Towers

While you can't really get to them on any road, the water towers on the 5th ring road (or any of the other water towers for that matter) will make you think you are on the set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Take pictures, then discard them.

7 – Pepsi Street, Shuwaikh

Pepsi Street provides visitors with a unique and entertaining viewing experience. Marvel at the insanely stupid driving, the imbecile parking methods, and wonder how a 5 ton lorry can zigzag through traffic like that. Incredible.

6 – Entertainment City

Walk around the vast landscape and enjoy one of the 3 good working rides at this wonderful theme park. Enjoy a serene boat ride on the man-made Arabian canal, and wonder if you will die of some kind of weird amoeba if you fall in.

5 – The Tariq Rajab Museum

Um. This one is actually pretty good.

4 – The Scientific Centre

A state-of-the-art Aquarium. Make sure you go on feeding day, and hope the shark eats the guy who is feeding it.

3 – Kuwait Zoo

A great place to visit, sit back, and wonder how in God's name the animals are still alive.

2 – Souk Al Mubarakiya

An excellent market-type location where you can get authentic Kuwaiti stuff. And interesting strains of stomach viruses should you choose to eat in any one of the restaurants there.

1 – Kuwait Towers

I wish someone would clean them.
