Khaleej Times published a short story on an Argentinian and British couple who escaped Kuwait during the 1990 invasion. Jorge Ferrari was a photographer while his wife Rebecca was a flight attendant for Kuwait Airways. The story also has photos I hadn’t seen before so check it out here.

This is an interesting story. The uncle he talks about is also a well known photographer and friends father, named Gustavo Ferrari. He has an amazing archive of pictures.
If you dont know him he has a million of stories as well to share and i keep telling he should write a book someday.

Oh Gustavo is his uncle! That makes sense cuz I thought it was such a coincidence that both Ferraris were photographers
Im sure this uncle has just as many stories. Sadly though i have never met him.
This is Jorge’s website: http://www.ferrari-photos.com/
Amazing photos.
I think Gustavo Ferrari now owns an Argentinian steak house called la brasa
He Does, Its called La Brasa and its located in the basement of Dar Awadhi.
he’s a great guy and a wonderful person to work with. The restaurant is also decorated with some old photos of Kuwait (this might have changed) and he’s full of charming stories about the old days.
I remember watching the England and Argentina World Cup match with Jorge, ironic about Maradona and the ‘hand of god’😂
