The Stunning New Part of Al Kout Mall is Open and Well Worth a Visit

Kuwait’s leading property developer Tamdeen Group has announced that its Al Kout Project, the largest waterfront retail and entertainment destination in the country is open and thriving. 

Occupying a plot of 300,000 sqm, Al Kout Project offers six diverse experiences reflecting the unique architectural heritage of Kuwait. The most modern of these experiences is Al Kout Mall, which opened for visitors during the first quarter of 2018, said the developer.

The mall will increase the overall leasing area of Al Kout Project to 100,000 sqm.

The KD123 million ($407 million) Al Kout Project compromises 360 stores and a 12-screen cinema, which is equipped with the latest Imax and 4DX systems and will be managed by Kuwait National Cinema Company (Cinescape).

Dining features prominently at Al Kout Mall, with an array of local and international restaurants and cafes, including 11 Kuwaiti trademarks which affirms Tamdeen’s constant support for ambitious initiatives from Kuwaiti entrepreneurs.

Al Kout Mall is also home to Infunity Sea Family Entertainment Centre, the largest indoor facility-of-its-kind in Kuwait. The Centre is themed around marine life and is an ideal edutainment for visitors of all ages eager to learn more about the marine environment, said the statement from Tamdeen.

In addition, Al Kout Mall will house the first-ever Q8 Karting, the biggest indoor track of its kind in the Middle East, offering an exhilarating experience that simulates pro racing. The Q8 Karting track is designed to suit all types of races, and age groups, it added.

Al Kout Project has a seafront stretching 1.6 km in Fahaheel area, with captivating views of the Arabian Gulf, particularly at Al Kout Marina, which can accommodate more than 150 boats.

Meanwhile, Al Kout NaG’at, a favourite pier for fishermen, is one of the rare spots that has preserved its heritage, with traditional sailboats, fishing methods, and commercial activities.

Tamdeen pointed out that another highlight of the project was Al Kout Souq which reflects the area’s heritage. It features a traditional-style marketplace where traders sell fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.

The design of the Souq area reflects the simplicity of shopping in old Kuwait, it stated.

The project not only offers variety in entertainment and shopping, but also caters to the tourists via its five-star Al Kout Rotana Hotel. Strategically placed, it is 25 minutes’ drive from Kuwait International Airport and a 45-minute drive from the Saudi borders.

The project promotes easy accessibility, with Al Kout Mall connected via a footbridge to Al Kout Souq, offering stunning views of fountains, and the marina, said the statement from Tamdeen.

The mall also incorporates a multi-story car park and external parking, with 3,600 parking slots, it added.

LWDLIK - I just got back and I'm well impressed. It's beautiful airy interiors, subtle chic colours and its gorgeous loos are stunning. The architecture is fresh and interesting with lots of curves so you are not quite sure what is ahead of you. 

Just loved the Cinderella coach

AWARE DIWANIYA: ISLAM BETWEEN RELIGION & CULTURE 27.03.2018 By Iman Martin Scenario: You've just arrived at Kuwait International airport and notice the wide array of costumes all around. A local gentleman is wearing a long white thobe and white headdress while a group of women are wearing the traditional long black Abaya and hijab (cloak & scarf). Another glance and you view a woman fully covered with niqab (face veil). If one were to ask the man why does he choose to dress as he does? He'd likely respond, "It's my culture and traditional dress dictates my clothing choice". Yet if the same question was addressed to the women they might respond, "It is our religion which dictates the way we dress". This is just one example so join us as we reveal many aspects between religion and culture of Kuwaitis' daily life.

GUIDED TOUR: GRAND MOSQUE 10.03.2018 For a rewarding, spiritual & informative experience. This is a 1½ tour of one of Kuwait’s most famous landmarks. Ladies are required to cover - long sleeves and long ankle length skirt, otherwise the mosque will provide a cloak. If you have your own scarf you’re welcome to bring it. Cameras are allowed.

The Bitcoin Enigma

Okay so as I was completely clueless about Bitcoin and I thought watching this movie on Netflix would enlighten me. However, I am actually more clueless now than I was before. The movie merely outlines all its multi-faceted pitfalls.

Not since the invention of the Internet has there been such a disruptive technology as Bitcoin. Bitcoin's early pioneers sought to blur the lines of sovereignty and the financial status quo. After years of underground development Bitcoin grabbed the attention of a curious public, and the ire of the regulators the technology had subverted. After landmark arrests of prominent cyber criminals involved with Bitcoin it faces its most severe adversary yet, the very banks it was built to destroy.

Would I buy it? Nope!
