Streets of Kuwait: Part 3

Sunset at Marina Bay

When finding a fun leisure activity around busy Kuwait, it's never a dull moment to hang out around the coastline. You may ask what the locals and expats both love to do during weekends..if not shopping (for the rich ones) it's obviously chilling out on marina bay. What other thing is also good about it? Well.. I guess the fact that it's absolutely free! You can either go for a swim, take your fishing skills to the test, ride a water boat, chitchat with your friends, jog, run, relax or just lay down under a palm tree for a quiet time.

The pics below covered the long bay stretch from the Scientific Center to Marina Mall.

There's a food shop inside the Scientific Center (Burger King, Pizza Hut etc) if anyone wanted to eat. That afternoon, my friend and I preferred a BK kid's meal hence Simpson on the bay side standing with his arms wide open
You can check out the local boat rides. Not sure how much the fares cost. Will have that separate post once I get the chance to be on it soon-ish 
Old Kuwaiti boats. I featured these ones in a previous post HERE!
Where's ze captain?!
Not sure what that small circular thing was. But my friend told me she think it's  like a boat-toilet or something.
The KAIT boat description
This reminds me of the "bangka" I used to ride on when I was younger back in my mom's province. Although this looks a bit majestic with its paint and stuff

Who wants to jog?



Unfortunately I don't know what this structure is called so I just call it The Umbrella

It's fishing time!
The CATS are EVERYWHERE! Fun thing is...they look like they have good  breeds
No clue on what the sign says. I still can't read arabic *sigh*
This structure makes me think of a gazebo. I'm no architecture major so I don't really know what this is called.

Docks probably used for smaller boats or yachts? 
Gazebos everywhere...
The park. The trees look interesting.
Fountain or small pool? No idea.
Playground for kids
Restaurants along the coastline
Mesmerizing coastline amidst the busy street
