Q8 Awal, a collection of old Kuwait photos

oldphoto

Q8 Awal is an instagram account with the sole purpose of collecting and sharing old photos and videos of Kuwait. There are a few out there that do the same but what I liked about Q8 Awal is that many of the photos I hadn’t seen before and also the fact that they don’t watermark the photos. Check them on instagram @q8_awal

Hey, how does someone get in touch with Mark? The “Contact” page keeps sending me delivery failure reports to my mailbox, even though on the actual page it says that my message was successfully sent!

Thank you 🙂

One of the British Colonels back in the late 1950s recommended that the Kuwaiti government keep the pre-oil Kuwait City (Sharg, Jibla, Al-Murghab & Al-Wasat) and not demolish it, to preserve its history

Sadly, the Kuwaiti government decided to demolish pre-oil Kuwait City

The government should have preserved all of pre-oil Kuwait City and instead relocated Kuwait City during the oil boom
