Fire at Kuwait City

Submitted by rayboy on September 29, 2007 – 1:56 pm6 Comments

 

We had gone to church today evening .. i did notice smoke at while on Gulfroad.. but when we reach darwaza … there was this huge construction building  with 3 to 4 floors on top totally ablaze. We parked a safe distance, and tried to get some pictures from our cellphones , but being dark .. the phones was really bad…

Once we reached home,  i was looking around the net if anyone got the shot… finally the online arabic  news paper ALAAN , got it… with their story about it .(in Arabic). Its the first time i have seen such a major blaze in kuwait. That too at sich height .. i hope no one was hurt or injured. I hope the building owner has insurance to claim.

  • Hi! How’s it going? Great pic! It’s way clearer than the video I shot of the fire. I hope nobody got hurt, as well.

    That said, could you please be so kind as to give me directions to Derwaza? I keep on hearing about it, and I’m curious. Where is it? Thanks either way :)

    Drunk’n'Gorgeous : Its in Kuwait City, if you take fahad al salem street from sheraton round about . and go towards all the banking complexes , near the Grand mosque or Kuwait Stock Exchange. There is a Mac Donald’s over there. this building is located behind Mac Donald’s.

    Eshda2wa: That location is called Derwaza.
