Go Karting in Kuwait in 1964 and more
I was trying to find information on the Anglo American School of Kuwait and by chance ended up finding a whole bunch of old photos of Kuwait dating back from 1960 up till 1984. I hadn’t seen any of them before and the one that grabbed my attention the most was the one above of a karting track in Ahmadi back in 1964. Most likely the first go-kart track in the region. There are a ton of photos, some are more interesting than others but all help paint a picture of life in Ahmadi back in the 60s and 70s. Check them out [Here]

Ahmadi was and is as cool as ever. Let me know about the school when you find more please.
Colour photos for the 1960s are pretty rare. Must’ve been one hell of an expensive camera.
Every day I ride my horse in Ahmadi, I thank God a million times that I live there … I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in Kuwait!!
they are great pics for ’64, its a wonder no photos ive ever seen even from 78 when i was born are this good random or what, no?
Very nice collection. Found pictures of oil equipment that would look great in presentations :)and offer a good story.
Love these trips down memory lane, love hearing about the history and culture of kuwait!
woow, these are priceless pictures
This is a treasure trove for me and anyone else associated with KOC or Ahmadi in any way. Thanks dude.
that’s what you call go karting.. like a boss!
The only reason I find these pics appealing is because I can imagine what it was like when my dad landed here.
Looks much better than the prokart track, and I bet the karts are faster!
I heard about it before, but first time seeing it. It was built by the english people who were in Kuwait, I also heard that people are taking their cars to that track…
Thanks Mark for sharing.
“Looks much better than the prokart track”
