Kuwait’s Grand Mosque

The story behind the place

Kuwait’s Grand Mosque is a major place of worship in Kuwait City. Its exterior combines a broad low main building, a central dome and a tall minaret. Repeated arches and pale stone make the smaller details part of the larger rhythm of the facade. The government’s public services include guided visits arranged through the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. Look for the contrast between the mosque’s wide horizontal mass and the narrow vertical tower beside it.
