Mubarakiya, a market stretching back 200 years, is certainly the best known and most often visited historical/heritage site in Kuwait. Bazaar has a helpful map here. The artist Zahra Marwan made a beautiful pictorial map of Mubarakiya a few years ago, as part of a project with Huda Abdulmughni, which you can see above. Here are some of the sites within Mubarakiya:
- Safat Square
- The popular restaurant Shater Abbas and the oldest restaurant in Kuwait
- The Kiskh or Kiosk of Sheikh Mubarak
- Historic Water Market
- Souq Al Manakh
- Gulf Bank Headquarters
- Historic Post Office
- Mubarakiya School
- The National Library Bookstore
- Souk Al-Kabir Mosque
