Palazzo stupendo utilizzato per incontri ufficiali ma a tutti gli effetti un museo dove viene ricordata tutta la genesi del popolo del Kuwait. Si entra solo con prenotazione da fare sul sito. Durata due ore circa e le vale tutte.... Da non perdere...

It is a must-visit experience! Not only does it showcase the palace’s history, but it also provides a glimpse into Kuwait’s rich heritage, featuring some artifacts from the Stone Age (8000 BC) to future projects. Make sure to book in advance.
