The Al Hashemi Marine Museum is a unique tribute to Kuwait's seafaring heritage, centred around the monumental Al-Hashemi-II. Recognised by the Guinness World Records as the largest wooden dhow ever built, this colossal, land-based ship is the museum's primary exhibit. While the vessel itself now serves as a banquet hall, its sheer scale offers a powerful impression of traditional shipbuilding. The surrounding museum complex displays intricate dhow models and maritime artefacts, creating a compelling destination for understanding the nation's deep-rooted connection to the sea.
