Souq Mubarakiya is an old traditional Kuwaiti market area that is famous for having the most delicious "sambousek" sold there as well as many different shops and traditional restaurants. It's a place where you can basically find anything and everything that you need. Not to mention the fact that it's building design is just spectacular and unique. It's a beautiful place to visit to truly be in the presence of Kuwaiti culture.
The shops are very old, nonetheless contain good quality products and are of reasonable prices. Doors of shops are made of wood and the architecture overall of Mubarakiya is traditional and Arabian.
Bars and arches are mainly used in the beautiful design and almost everything is made of wood to give that old, traditional sense. Colours used are also very earthy, such as brown, yellow and orange.
Pillars are also incorporated into the design along side the bars. This gives a great sense of space between each building and in the daylight, as you can see in the photographs, the light passing through creates many shapes of shadows.
