KUWAIT - Sunset At The Dhow Harbor
My second card from Huda, thank you.
"Located behind Kuwait City's Scientific Complex, this harbour is best known for the well-preserved wooden boat (dhow) docked in its waters. The dhow boats were traditionally used by pearl divers before the rise of the oil industry. The Bringer of Good Fortune (Fateh el Kheir) boat is a must-see for those interested in the Kuwaiti way of life before the modern political age."

KUWAIT - Parliament House
This is my first card from Kuwait that I received in April 2014. The card shows the Parliament House of Kuwait.
"The Kuwait National Assembly Building, designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon in 1972, was completed in 1982 under the direction of his son Jan. The structural design was by Max Walt. The building was seriously damaged in February 1991 when retreating Iraqi troops set it on fire but has since been restored. The overall area of the complex is 18,000 square metres (150 m by 120 m). The main structure consists of a basement housing the services and two upper levels with offices, reception, meeting rooms, the library and the cafeteria. In the centre is the vast assembly chamber, 82 m by 34 m, with 50 seats for the members and the possibility of expansion to 150 seats.:
The stamps used 2 of the 10V mini sheet of Partnership with UN issued in 2013. Thank you for the great stamps!
