The local ‘Souq’ is called Mubarakiya, named after Mubarak, a leader who was the sheik (‘shehk’, family ruler) from the Al-Sabah family, which is still the ruling family of modern Kuwait. Kuwait combines ancient tradition with a democratic political system (Parliament), and is a melting pot of past and present, as I was able to see in the Mubarakiya.

Yes they are. And I have to write you one. you will be able to find the keys. They were in one of the exterior stalls, looking on a parking lot/open space, unpaved. And by the way, the undergound M’barkiya exists, I have certain info. And you can find pretty cool accessories….Maybe we will go there on the next trip. Inshallah…

The photo of the keys got me too! Miti, did you check out the little currency exchange shops on the street side of the gold market? They are really something, literally selling colourful rubber-banded wads of money displayed in glass box counters. It makes you want to point at the different bank notes and say “can I have two of those, five of these and a couple of the ones at the back, please”
