Kuwaiti Marriage Hall

What this set up is? I see only Kuwaitis assembling and some camels tied to the post and things happens after 1900hrs with no public attractions. Whats happening here? This is what I asked to myself and to get an answer, I passed this and some information came out. 


Its a Marriage hall. What?... Marriage hall?....! but i dont see single women........ As every one knows how marriages are held in India its time to know about how its in Kuwait. Okie coming to the location of this set up, its in AbuHalifa near Road No 30. Almost all these set up are at openspace (desert).


Here there are two marriage halls. Each hall has a dining room, wash room and a kitchen. you can see this on the sides with lamp post focussed on the centrewith sofas. All rooms are air conditioned.


Pics taken when the hall is empty, All the chairs and sofas looks rich but really its not. Closer views will bring you the actual. It looks rich at the first sight with the curtains, hanging lamps, bright colours and people wearing white dress with native Arab perfume... the hall looks appealing.


Chairs for the VVIPs


Liquors are prohibited so its obvious you will not be served with it. What you can have is camel biriyani, juice, water and complimentary is smoking. Public smoking is also prohibited. Only gents are allowed no idea about the other. This is how marriage celebrations at Kuwait.

Whats there to enjoy with this ball room effect with out added spices....?

Expats Opinion

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it! Kuwait is also not different. The opening line of an article made me read it. The article is a promotion of a book written by a French woman Samah Oueslati titled “Why did I choose Kuwait..." I dint read that book as I have to pay for it but I read the comments for the article and I thought of posting it. Comments are both positive and negative some are bit rude. Its all about individuals, either like are dislike. Do read the comments and get some ideas.
