‘AL KOUT FESTIVAL’ – AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF KUWAIT

Here are some pictures I took at the AUK ‘Al Kout Festival’ at the American University of Kuwait, today.

It’s a beautiful, well organized event sure to captivate the interest of everyone. The variety of traditional Kuwaiti musical programmes was quite entertainting. The traditional 'Sea Bands' will give you an insight into the music that used to be practised by seafaring people of past. Be sure to tour the entire outer premises of AUK, as there are various events going on in different areas (venues). The National Museum exhibition is in the auditorium of the Liberal Arts Bldg.. The Sadu textiles and soveniers are quite impressive. There are a variety of food stalls that will cater to everyone’s tastes. Camel ride is available for the fun loving.  There is a traditional tent set up depicting traditional Kuwaiti family. A car show with a display of old cars is quite interesting. An impressive Arabian black stallion stands close to the tent. The Al Kout festival will be on until tomorrow, Wednesday 16^th March (from 12.30pm to 9.30pm) and will conclude with the thoroughly entertaining Fatoomah's concert. A must visit event!  Click Here for further details that was posted earlier, on Kuwait-Music.com.
