The Kuwait Towers, iconic landmarks in Kuwait City, were completed in 1976 and designed by the Swedish firm of Sune Lindström and Malene Björn.

Completed in 1986, this majestic structure spans over 45,000 square meters, accommodating over 10,000 worshippers. Its design intricately blends traditional Islamic architecture with Kuwaiti cultural motifs, featuring a stunning main prayer hall, elaborate calligraphy, and a striking minaret that towers over the cityscape. The mosque's interior is adorned with opulent decorations, including intricate tile work, grand chandeliers, and a vast, hand-woven carpet, making it a focal point for religious and cultural gatherings in Kuwait.
