TOURS ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL THE 15th OF MARCH. The Grand Mosque of Kuwait is the 8th largest mosque in the world. The mosque welcomes visitors for FREE guided tours, during weekdays from 9:00-10:45 am and from 5:00-7:00 pm.
Due to an unplanned stopover flight I spend 2 days in Kuwait City and visited the Mosque. The Mosquee is huge and marvelous but I'm actually writing not a review of the Mosque but only thank the Mosque Staff for it's great welcome and the great hospitality. They served us fresh drinks and food and guided through the Mosque's areas explaining and teaching us about Mosque history. Thank you again and greetings from Italy.

On my way down the Arabian Gulf street I was surprised to see just before arriving at the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre a not too small Cathedral Complex in warm sandstone colours, surrounded by a wall. Walking into it I came to an open space, covered by a tented roof with the cathedral proper to the left and a newer Parish Halls building to the right, with two small white skeleton towers. After the Amir of Kuwait had granted this piece of land to the Catholic Church, the then bishop commissioned the architect Emilio Tenca from Milan to build a cathedral. Its consecration was in 1961, but soon the building was too small, so an expansion took place with the opening of the Parish Halls structure in 1997. Here can be found the halls: St. Pedro Pio, Holy Family, Virgin Mary and Good Shepherd. A special feature outdoors is the semi-circular structure with a statue of Mary, Mother of God. The Cathedral named after 'The Holy Family in the Desert' is the seat of AVONA (Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia), which includes Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia (where the building of churches is not allowed, being the country of the Islamic Holy Sites). With the construction of a new cathedral in Bahrain the seat of AVONA should move to that country. The Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia includes the countries of Yemen, Oman and the UAR with the bishop's seat in Abu Dhabi. As in all the oil-rich countries of the Arabian peninsula there is quite a high number of Christians in the workforces here. This can be seen here at Kuwait's cathedral complex with the masses being given at different hours in following languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Arabic (mainly people from Lebanon), Coptic, Tagalog (Philippines), Sinhala (Sri Lanka), Malayalam (Kerala), Tamil and Konkani (Goa).
