One of the most popular attractions that draws visitors from across the globe is the Kuwait Friday Market situated in the Shuwaikh industrial disctrict in Kuwait city. This charming bazaar is your one-stop-shop for a round of reasonably-priced retail therapy and local charm, for you to make the most of your stay at a Kuwait resort. Of worthy mention is the Al-Jahra Copthorne Hotel & Resort which is best known as one of the finest luxury Kuwait hotels on the market and provides an ideal oasis to beat the desert heat. Explore the Friday Market when time permits, to land some great deals on the same products available at the high-priced malls around town. The market, otherwise known as the Souk al-Jumma is open three days each week during the commercial weekend of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and features a range of goods at very competitive prices, books, antiques, furniture, toiletries, toys, bicycles, and more. You could even pick up a “Diyawani”, which is a Kuwait-styled sofa at a great deal.

There are also international goods especially imported from the country of origin, such as a authentic range of Afghani artefacts such as antiques, hookas and carpets. Remember to bargain, which is taken as a given at the Friday Market. The market also features an intriguing selection of antique stalls offering some truly treasured finds dating back more than a century, so be prepared to dedicate a few hours at the Friday Market, which may reveal untold treasures at a complete bargain.
