New update from Othman for the upcoming events:

Saturday 26th Feb:

6th ring road will be closed in preparation for the military parade. It will be closed starting from Sulaibiya road till Messila bridge starting from 8am till 12 noon. It will be opened until 2:30pm where it will close again until 5:00pm.


Sunday 27th Feb:

In preparation for the carnival on the gulf road, the road will be closed from the intersection with the 3rd ring road till the intersection with the British Embassy (where is this?). Time will be from 12 noon till the end of the carnival. All parking lots will also be closed with the exception for Green Island parking lot which will be dedicated to the elderly and disabled only.



About Sunday’s carnival:

It will include cars from 92 different government and private sectors. The carnival will start after lunch time (I’m guessing after Aser prayer or so?) till sunset. It will start from Marina Mall all the way till Kuwait towers. The cars themselves will remain parked for 3 days at the Kuwait Towers for people to watch. Seating areas will be provided so that people can watch the carnival. Special areas for the disabled will also be allocated. Furthermore, there will be designated parking areas for people who are attending the carnival as well as buses to transfer people from the parking lots to the seating areas. At the Kuwait Towers, a 2 kilometer long flag of Kuwait will be on display. (This carnival is supposed to be similar to the ones we had back in the 70′s and 80′s and is supposed to be BIG so make sure you come to watch


LWDLIK- Woohoo! Thanks Othman :OD
