Here There and Everywhere

Expat wanderer

Fintas Observatory

You know me, I’m a newspaper addict. Maybe even a news addict. I read many of the articles to the very end; I read some of the filler articles. Life is a mystery to me, in some of the exotic countries I live in (No, not exotic to YOU, but exotic to a little Alaska girl who finds herself in the fairy-tale lands of Arabia!).

So here is the real question. Every now and then, I find a reference to the Fintas Observatory.

I’ve looked on maps – no Observatory.

I’ve GoogleEarthed Fintas – some parts are still pretty vague, but I see nothing that looks like an Observatory.

The Kuwait sky is often murky with haze – the clear nights we are currently having are a fabulous rarity – but maybe they were more common in the past?

Do you know where the Fintas Observatory is? Do they allow visitors, or is it invitational only?
