Come to Kuwait and feel the heat of paradise
Last year I posted about this very strange tourism video I found on YouTube in which three women try to convince the world that Kuwait is a great place to visit. You would think that alone was strange but the three women then take us on a tour around Kuwait highlighting some of its best parts which include Canary Restaurant, Taxi Al Resala and some unknown electronics store. It was extremely weird, cheesy and funny but now the wait is over, the full version of the film is out!
It’s 43 minutes long but you really don’t need to watch it all to realize how unbelievably bizarre it is. The whole time I am just thinking to myself what the hell are they talking about!? In one scene early on in the movie they point out how the new Kuwait is getting built side by side to the old Kuwait and how old and new architecture is merging and creating a new better future. It all sounds decent and corny except for the fact the video accompanying this theory is of the old back alley streets of Salmiya and their idea of old Kuwait are the 30 year old nearly demolished crack houses while the new architecture of Kuwait are the cheap ass multistory tiny bedroom built cheaply out of cardboard to make money apartment buildings. Actually, that does sound about right. A few minutes later into the documentary they take us to meet one of the “important faces in Kuwait”… the sales manager of Holiday Inn!
They are unpredictable and you never know where they will be taking you next but surprisingly I love it! It just keeps getting weirder and weirder and I can’t stop watching it. Although its a really really really terribly shot and produced movie and although their idea of whats cool in Kuwait is very demented, the documentary still manages to crack me up. It’s soooo unreal!

Is there a similar Kuwaiti Production that fares better? Are we to blame foreigners for their ignorance of our country, or ourselves for not putting enough effort to promote it?
The way I see it, we’re more attuned to uploading mobile video clips of maids committing suicide, or illegal street races or wobbling butts in shopping centers, how’s that for cultural promotion??
Hats off to those 3 women, at least they made an effort, albeit a weak and incomplete one, but an effort nevertheless.

I f*king love watching wobbling butts in shopping centres. It’s what makes Kuwait the international capital of cool.
13. loved it | September 4th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Hahaha….loved it….brilliant satire.
14. mushroom | September 4th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
how could it be the “international capital of cool” if all you could do is watch?
=(

Now they’ve shown every single thing Kuwait has to offer visitors, what will they come for? They’ve already seen it all before. Especially the Holiday Inn. It’s seriously the most important landmark in Kuwait.
a- This is serious comedy gold
b- It’s a great way to discourage people from coming anywhere near Kuwait.
