They were designed by the Danish architect Malene Bjorn and inaugurated on February 26, 1977. Water is contained in a sculptural form that imitates the traditional Arabian perfume containers.
The project is located at the tip of Ras Ajouza peninsula. The project is composed of three towers; two towers are used as water containers and the third is a lighting pole. The tallest is 180 meters high and contains 4,500 m3 water reservoir, a 90 guests restaurant, and a rotating observatory. The second tower is 140 meters high and is used only as a water reservoir.
The spheres are covered with enamelled plates of steel painted in colour scheme of blues, greens and greys in harmony with the traditional ornamental forms of the gulf architecture of the past, creating a brilliant impression in daylight and light spectacle at night.
The project became a symbol for the city and the state of Kuwait with its huge spheres hung on pointed towers.
Kuwait Towers have stood as the undisputed national symbol and one of the most recognizable landmarks in Kuwait; an embodiment of the nation’s dramatic economic and urban development after the discovery of oil.
Today, the Towers have become an integral element of the Kuwait City skyline, occupying a focal position on the Sea Front along the Arabian Gulf Road. Known to residents fondly as “Al Abraj” (simply the Towers), they are a must-visit destination for residents and tourists alike.
The Kuwait Towers were not originally intended as a touristic destination. At the beginning, the Towers were simply meant to be the sixth site for the nation-wide network of water towers that was being constructed around Kuwait.
However, given their prominent location along the country’s coastline, His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, had a different vision for these towers. In 1975, the Kuwaiti government signed a contract with a Swedish architectural firm to design the Kuwait Towers according to traditional Kuwaiti architecture style. The tallest towers design represented the shape of a censers, as for the medium tower, it was designed as a water sprinkler and the smallest tower was designed in the shape of the traditional Arab women eyeliner.
The Kuwait Towers are a group of three thin towers in Kuwait City, standing on a promontory into the Persian Gulf. They were the sixth, and last, group in the larger Kuwait Water Towers system of 34 towers (33 store water; one stores equipment), and were built in a style considerably different from the other five groups.
The Kuwait Towers were officially inaugurated in March 1979 and are regarded as a landmark and symbol of modern Kuwait.The towers were closed for maintenance from March 2012 to 8 March 2016, with a massive fireworks festival commemorating the re-opening.
Kuwait Towers facility is operated and managed by the state-owned Touristic Enterprises Company. The Main Tower served as the venue for TEDxKuwaitCity event in 2018 and 2019.
