Using the “My Maps” feature on google maps, I’ve made a map of the sites I’ve blogged about. They are organized into museums, mosques, historic sites, and other. If you click on the location of the site, a link to the post about it should pop up (although this only appears to work on computers and not on phones). You can access the map through this link.. Using previous posts, here is a general list of things to do in Kuwait related to art, history, and culture:
