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.

The large market square located at the heart of the city centre is surrounded by a multitude of must-see sights. The daily market takes place here, where you can buy all sorts of tasty treats, flowers and spices. The ornate Beautiful Fountain is a well-photographed sight. The two rings on the fence are the focus of much attention. A legend says that if you turn the “golden ring” and make a wish, it will come true. The black ring, meanwhile, is said to bless women with children. The main market square is characterised by the facade of the Chruch of Our Lady constructed as an imperial royal chapel. Every day at noon the "Männleinlaufen" (mechanical clock and glockenspiel) takes place here - a daily event not to be missed!
