Kuwait Towers
Kuwait Towers are located in Kuwait City and they stand as the country’s unofficial symbol because they find a consistent presence on everything except on the national flag. They were designed by Swedes, built by Yugoslavs and opened for Kuwaitis in 1979. These iconic towers are hallmarked by large spheres covered with a strange dotted pattern made of differently colored circular plates. The first of these towers is 583 feet high and hosts the iconic Viewing Sphere with a rotating viewing platform. The second tower that stands at 478 feet is used for storing water and the third tower is used to light up the other two at night.
