Sunset in the dessert near the border to Kuwait

And opposite the sun, the full moon rises

Falconers with their birds at the border to Kuwait. They were returning from a hunting trip

Arrived at a beach in Kuwait, dreaming of a day of peace and quite. We got totally the opposite!

Crazy Kuwaitis racing their huge pick-ups on the beach

Between racing Pick-ups, 1 million dollar Arabic stallions galloping.

In the middle of it all, family picknic while a quad races by

Not a city at night but 1000s of kuwaitis camping in the desert with generators and all

Hey! The water is on the wrong side of the car. 2am and getting on to high tide

For those Arabs who don't like the tent idea, how about a 20 meter long camping vehicle

Or is 30 meters length better? With air conditioning of course!

First night in Kuwait

December 8, 2022 in Iraq ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

Dreaming of hanging off a few days at the beach, we headed off to North of Kuwait city.
It was armageddon!
Huge tuned pick-ups having drag races on the beach, practising full power while pulling the wheel around. In the midst of this, families picnicking, kids playing while million dollar Arab stallions galloped. To top it all, racing quads practising wheelies between the picknickers.
We were flabbergasted!

We had parked on the beach and asked around if the tide would vote up. No problem was the answer that came from several families.
SO WE WENT TO BED AND WOKE UP AT 2am TO FIND OURSELVES SURROUNDED BY WATER! Luckily only 30 cm!
With 4 wheel drive we slowly edged our way out.Read more
