Found these two picture on Flickr which were taken in Kuwait back in the early 60’s. They’re both by the same person (Brett Jordan) who I guess was working in Kuwait back then. The pictures were taken by the parents of Brett Jordan who digitized the shots and uploaded them to his Flickr account. I liked the car shot above because of the colors while the one below I liked because Kuwait looked so quiet and calm compared to today. Check out the originals [Here] and [Here]

the pix were taken by my parents… my dad was a refrigeration engineer working with an oil company, my mother was carrying and eventually giving birth to me 🙂
lovely
Wow, a row of houses that actually don’t clash with each other on so many levels. Cool!
the 60s..wow! but i wonder how pictures turn out to be this good! taken by a camera back in the 60s!
Those houses look like they could be those old ones in salmiya
Sadly, I can’t view the pictures as Flickr is blocked by my internet provider.
I’m thinking, where are these houses now? Salmiya? It would be great fun to find them and take a picture from the same vantage point today.
If am not mistaken, and since the picture says Fahaheel, those were opposite to the old Fish market. Somewhere close /in between Al Kout and Al Manshar malls. Most of the apartments there were rented to American Independent Oil Co. (AMINOIL) employees. We used to live there. Those were the days my friend.
