I wonder if that booth at the 30 second mark was the DJ booth for the discotheque that was originally part of the Kuwait Towers plans… [YouTube]

First skyscraper in the Middle East! <3
what about the cairo tower that was constructed 19 years before the Kuwait towers? its also the same hight (0.5 feet taller than the kuwait towers).
The Cairo Tower (Arabic: برج القاهرة, Borg Al-Qāhira) is a free-standing concrete tower located in Cairo, Egypt. At 187 m (614 ft), it has been the tallest structure in Egypt and North Africa about 50 years. It was the tallest structure in Africa for 10 years, until 1971 when it was surpassed by Hillbrow Tower in South Africa.
Construction started .. 1956
Completed .. 1961
Opening ..1961
i think if you brought those people in the video to the present day, they wouldn’t have bothered building those magnificent towers.
