The Liberation Tower (Burj al-Tahrir) in Kuwait City is the second-tallest structure in Kuwait, soaring 372 metres above the city skyline. The tower was built to commemorate Kuwait's liberation from the Iraqi occupation on 26 February 1991 — a pivotal moment in Kuwaiti history — and was completed in 1996. Primarily a telecommunications tower, it is also a major tourist attraction featuring a revolving restaurant at 300 metres and an observation deck offering sweeping panoramic views across Kuwait City, the Arabian Gulf, and on a clear day, as far as the shores of neighbouring countries. The tower's distinctive design includes a lattice steel mast with a large observation pod and is illuminated spectacularly at night. This immersive 360° virtual tour lets you explore the tower and its cityscape views from your browser, completely free.
