Enjoy Kuwait resort’s Marine Museum and record-setting dhow
This chic hotel by the Arabian Sea features the Al Hashemi, which is noted in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest wooden dhow ever built. Launched in March 2000, Al Hashemi is a cultural icon today at this hotel by the Arabian Sea. Constructed over a period of 15 years by 250 skilled craftsmen, the Al Hashemi hosts a grand ballroom and foyer spread across 1,200 square metres and is furnished with a lavish, gold-leaf wooden interior ideal for up to 1,000 guests.
The marine museum is dedicated to the traditional art of shipbuilding and houses approximately 30 scale models of various historical and existing dhows. A variety of marine articles, pictures of traditional significance and photographs depicting various stages of construction of Al Hashemi II also form a part of the marine museum.
