Kuwait Towers - Kuwait City


Kuwait Towers - Kuwait City
Originally uploaded by usabin

It is the symbol of Kuwait and appears in all photos so I tried an original approach.
The Kuwait Towers are three towers of reinforced concrete in Kuwait City. The main tower is 187 meters high and serves as a restaurant and water tower. It also has a Viewing Sphere which rises to 123 meters above sea level and completes a full turn every 30 minutes. The second tower is 145.8 meters high and serves as a water tower. The third tower houses equipment to control the flow of electricity and illuminates the two larger towers. The towers hold 4,500 cubic meters of water.
