In Focus: Funoon Centre
The post below reminded me I should actually post about the Funoon store. For everyone that’s grown up in Kuwait during the 80′s, this store is a gold mine. They have all the famous Abed Al Hussein Abd Al Rida plays and shows available… on DVD! I picked up the Bye Bye London DVD for just KD3. Quality isn’t DVD quality but it’s better than the VHS tape I had. Only problem I actually had with the DVD is that sound comes out of one speaker only because they took the mono track and assigned it to one side. I would have taken the mono track and repeated on the left and right instead. But anyway that’s a small complaint. They also had Seif Al 3arab (2 DVDs), Bye Bye 3arab, Dars Khoosoosee, Darb Al Zalag and a lot more… all on DVD and all priced at KD3 per DVD.
Not sure how many branches they have but I went to the one off the 5th Ring Road in Salmiya. If Turkish Grill is on your right hand side it’s around 200 meters right after it, on the corner of Amman street.
They have a store in Mojama3 il Neqra and last i checked it was still there… walking to that store is a trip down memory lane… i remember buying VHS tapes of old cartoons i love that was maybe in 2005 or 2006
Bye Bye London is timeless. decades pass and you see arabs in london during the summer doing the exact same thing.
you should sell this idea to one of your clients :)
Anything with English subtitles? I’d love to get my hands on some Kuwaiti plays or TV series with English subtitles.
I used to love that play!!
so funny ;p
FYI: Funoon Center is owned by Abed Al Hussein Abd Al Rida himself

Most videos are still 80′s quality, they don’t bother to update them to higher quality. Download TV/DVB Rips from the net better quality especially the ones recorded from Gulf satellite channel.
Apparently you didn’t know that funoon is owned by abdulhussein himself.
no duhh. of course i knew.
No bloo raai fersion 2 by?
