A reader just sent me a link to a section of the Al-Diwan Al-Amiri website which contains really old photos of Kuwait, like the one above which was taken in 1911 or the one below that was taken in 1919 when Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed with Prince Faisal bin AbdulAziz visited London to mark the end of the First World War.
A lot of gems on the website and each photo has a description underneath. Check them all out by clicking [Here]
Thanks Avay!

Good Job Mark
You know what would be really nice? a museum….
I know the picture at the top of the post which is of al Mubarakia School which was established 1911, but the picture was taken in 1939 by Alan Villiers.
This picture among dozens of others can be seen in a beautiful book titled ‘Kuwait by the First Photographers’. Available in English and Arabic in both local bookshops and on Amazon.
