Can anyone give a little more info on the winter bazaar? What sort of stuff will be there?
Mark, will you be at the marathon?
If by marathon you mean sleeping in bed then yes
There is a souq event in Murouj on Saturday
Every thing in this list is boring, don’t we have something more fun to do ???
I also agree… Why there is no Drag965 or Drifts these days?
Mark I know you’re not much of a reader but please include the annual Book Fair (taking place in the Mishref Fairgrounds) on your list.
I don’t know about the book fair, have a link?
Their website is down for some reason, but I’ve included a news article about the event below. The Book Fair is on until the 26th November in Halls 5, 6 and 7. Pay them a visit, there’s something for everyone and they’ve got more English books this time around.

Saw this on NCCAL’s Instagram today and totally assumed it was an Arabic book fair. How substantial would the English section be? Is it even a section?
I just got back from there. 95% of the books are Arabic but there were two long aisles in hall 6 that were English books. So worth going.
Thanks, Mark.
41st annual Kuwait International Book Fair
