Kuwaits Musem/Antique Store.

Nawader Al Kuwait Antique Store Enterance.

Every now and then you fall on something Unique, well tday on my way home i saw a shop filled with antiques/artifacts whatever you want to call them. It was like i was stepping into a different World there was everything from old records coins and stereos machines toys to old pepsi scratch and win prizes and much more.. The shop is owned by the person who also owns LAKATAT Studio in shaab Mohammed Al Banna (i need to double check). He first planned on making it another studio and calling it LAHATHAT before changing his mind. The shop is small and no Bigger than MOKAN cafe next to ASK, to those who know it However the amount of items he has and their vareity are breath taking. What makes it special is that He only sells records, as he hopes to preserve some part of Kuwait's dissapearing history. He's extremley friendly and hospitable and will take you way back as he talks about where and when the antiques were attained. He sells Records mostly arab records but he does even have the Beatles Bonny M etc.. so it could be a nice present for those of you who have people in their lives that were their at "that" time. This store is Unique in kuwait and its the only one that sells records in the Middle east apparently. If you want to check it out their Address is: Pearl Al Marzoug Building in Ras Al Salmiya St 1. Its Called Nawader Al Kuwait.

Their Website is : http://www.nawaderq8.com/
Telphone #: 0096525757500

Update: The Website Apparently dosent work.

  7. the Vinyls go from anywhere between 5 Kd -50 Kd and in some cases more howevre the rest of the items are for display as he dosent wantr to sell them because he wants to have a place where people can appreciate and see old antiques that otherwise would be in someones attics or spread around so thnly that you wouldn't be Able to find them, Visit him if you want At Pearl Al Marzoug Bldg Ras Al Salmiya Blk1 St 1.
