We were given an opportunity to take a tour up into the Liberation Tower (Kuwait Telecom Tower). The observation deck moves, albeit very slowly, but if you look closely, you can see the buildings in different spots behind our heads in the photos posted below.

History and height of the Liberation Tower

Note: I took this picture as a passenger, R was driving.

You can just barely see the Kuwait Towers

I have not had a chance to visit the Kuwait Towers yet, only seen them from the ground. Safat Square has a neat history from what I've been able to gather dating back to the 1920s. The Causeway was just inaugurated on 1 May of this year and is currently the 4th longest bridge in the world! It crosses the Kuwait Bay. This is a very impressive feat of engineering, in my humble opinion. I'd like to find a friend willing to drive the span of the bridge with me. I'll keep you updated.
