The Kuwait Tower is a group of three towers on Arabian Gulf Street in Dasmani. The main tower has a Main Sphere with some cafes, restaurants and reception halls, while the rotating Viewing Sphere offers a spectacular bird's eye view of the city. The second tower has a water reservoir, while the third has the equipment to supply power to the other two towers and some parts of Kuwait.
A symbol of economic resurgence in Kuwait, the towers were built a year after Kuwait's independence from England. A combination of traditional Islamic design with modern architecture, the towers are often compared to the slender minarets of the mosques of Samarkhand and Bukhara.
