Kuwait Liberation Tower by kuwait_david
Kuwait Liberation Tower, the tallest structure in the Middle East and the fifth tallest free standing telecommunication tower in the world. This 372-metre structure is about 40 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower! It was named after the multinational coalition that liberated the nation from seven months of Iraqi occupation during the Gulf War. Despite many many guidebooks telling you about the restuarant and revolving viewing platform, neither really exists. There is no restuarant in the tower as nobody can afford the rent that the Ministry of Communication wants. The tower is never open. It is opened on special occasions etc and supposedly the view is spectacular, but I was never lucky enough to get in on the couple of days a year when it opens. Content yourself with photographs of it from the bottom.
