Lazy Mubarakiyya Friday
For our non-Kuwaiti friends, Friday is the day off in Kuwait if you only have one day off, Friday and Saturday for a few. It’s the perfect time of the year to visit the Mubarakiyya Souks – not too hot, not too cold and always something interesting to see. Grab your friends and family, and have lunch in the square where all the restaurants are.

Heee heeee, Zainoba, I can’t understand a lot; I think I understand that! It’s the same kind of thing you say when people come in at the airport – hamd’allah 3la salaama – isn’t it? So like “peace, blessings of mubarakiyya and kababs and coffees at mubarakiyya?”
