Finally - Pictures of Failaka Island

Chess Pieces outside the Museum

Above and the two below are what an old Diwaniya would have looked like. Diwaniyas
have existed in Kuwait since time immemorial. In the old City of Kuwait it was the reception area where a man received his business colleagues and male guests.




Above and below are the insides of a Bride's Room.




What the kitchen would have looked like.



An old cannon that stands in front of the Museum.


Houses used for target practise.


Above and below - mortar holes in the sides of homes.




Above are still more signs of how this island was decimated by the Iraqis when they invaded.
