Digital Kuwait
finally, the baladiya (municipality) has developed a web-based interactive map of kuwait. u can zoom into it down to a block level, or use the search function in the menu and type in what you're looking for, in arabic or english; very handy.
you can even take a look at some statistics, like population and age group distribution.

I've been using this about a year.... I thought everyone knew about it. But it's not up-to-date. In my area of Mangaf it shows the whole block developed, yet only 10% of the buildings are there. Plus there are now roads and roudabouts in the area which aren't on the map.
But as we are in Kuwait and don't expect a perfect job, it's a good effort - 5 out of 10.
it's been around for a year ? strange i haven't seen it before since i'm always looking for maps when i have to go somewhere i don't know. which happens often
Does it cover underground synagogues, temples,public libraries, and betting and pawn shops too?
Expectantly,

Hey, you ! naughty, naughty ..... your digital entry, I am afraid clearly suggests horny innuendos that desecrate the holier-than- thou society we have now been able to synthesise in Kuwait. It makes me blush without actually, putting my blush on (pour homme) :). The cheek Baladiya has got to entice people living in Kuwait to get tactile with one another, through this their digital Q8 initiative!
Digitally yours,

Thanx for reminding there exists a Baladiya in Kuwait today. It is itching to get privatized or better still, out-sourced to the Emirates.
jumping trans: it's got some of the underground.. parking lots. sorry to disappoint
hurricane haya: if u keep looking for innuendos u'll keep finding them everywhere ;)
felicity: i second privatization, but for crying out loud i don't want kuwait to look like the emirates. all due respect
What's not to like about the Emirates ? Is it their litter free streets or their sprightly public gardens, and well kept fountains both inside of malls and outdoors?
khaled: well-kept fountains ? u obviously haven't been to al-kout mall
on a more serious note, i find dubai congested and asphyxiating; it's like 1 big construction site.
My dear Joud:
With all due respect, luv, one water front development does not a country make! I have been to Al kout on several occasions and each time I go visiting there I cannot help but marvel at the fantastical water features they have there with the elegant & tranquil mall interiors and all.
ado: but they make the water dance to the music <:-o
