The Huntley Film Archives have uploaded another video of Kuwait from their film archive, this time dating back to around 1970. Video starts of slow a bit but becomes more interesting after the 3 minute mark. [YouTube]

@ 7:10 is that Sheikh Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah? I haven’t seen a good photo of him and most of the time they use artwork to show him. Either way, nice post Mark. I love posts showing old videos or images of Kuwait the best.
eh?! Just google his name and you’ll get thousands of photos…

Kuwait then is what Dubai is today!
Black n White in the 70’s …makes me wonder
The parting words “an oasis of sanity and progress” are heartbreaking
Look at us now.. a swamp of insanity and decline
I wanted to write a bigass post on your blog but I didn’t want to sign in since my gmail is my real name. It’s not so bad, I like it here.
