The Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre is a monumental venue, functioning as a multidisciplinary hub for the performing arts. Its striking architecture, inspired by Islamic geometric patterns, houses multiple state-of-the-art theatres, concert halls and libraries. More than just an opera house, it is a public space designed to host a diverse range of events, from film and theatre to workshops, aiming to educate and inspire. Set within spacious parkland, it stands as a modern testament to Kuwait's national cultural ambition.

The Kuwait Towers are a defining national symbol, their distinctive blue-green sequined spheres rising prominently on the city's coastline. The main tower features a viewing sphere 120 metres above the ground, providing a 360-degree panorama of Kuwait City and the Persian Gulf. The complex also houses a revolving restaurant and a café. A visit offers both a striking architectural sight and an unparalleled perspective of the city, with the entry fee to the viewing deck waived for restaurant guests.

The Tareq Rajab Museum of Islamic Calligraphy is a highly specialised institution dedicated entirely to the art of Arabic script. Housed in a private villa just blocks away from the Tareq Rajab Museum, it showcases a vast and diverse collection that spans centuries, from a rare 7th-century Hijazi folio to works by master calligraphers. The exhibits demonstrate the application of calligraphy across various mediums, including manuscripts, ceramics, metalwork, and textiles. More than a historical archive, the museum presents calligraphy as a living, evolving art form, offering a profound and intimate exploration of one of the Islamic world's most revered artistic traditions.
