It is worthwhile to take a tour of the Grand Mosque in Kuwait, just kindly ask the security guard in front of the entrance to the mosque. Across the street from the Grand Mosque is the Kuwaiti Stock Exchange, which seems to be open to the public.

While in Kuwait it is also possible to smoke Shisha (Hookah) at a cafe. There are also quite a few great restaurants with Iranian, Lebanese, and Bedouin foods.

To escape the intense heat, visit the Aqua Park near the Kuwait Towers. It's KD 3.50 to get in and offers a variety of modern rides and pools.

One can also walk along many of the sidewalks that line the coast of Kuwait. At dusk, it's ideal to sit on a bench across from the Souq Sharq and watch the sun set on the Arabian Sea. Buy yourself a sack of nuts or bagful of olives from the souq in the fish market and relax.
