Kuwait is a country of stark modern development contrasted with older ways of living. Kuwait City without a doubt is the catalyst of the western influence, a glitzy metropolis of high rise office buildings and luxury hotels, glass fronted and imposing.
Even the shopping malls are luxury and dripping with western shopping labels alongside traditional Kuwaiti attire, with evidence of high income spending and fashion conscious trends despite the restrictive Islamic lifestyles, the contrast is puzzling. 

In keeping with the sky high panoramic views, see the Liberation Tower, one of the tallest telecommunications towers in the world and with an observation deck that gives an amazing bird’s eye view across the city. Likewise, the famous Kuwait Towers also has a revolving observation level giving awesome views.
