Mosques |

These are just a few of the many mosques here in Kuwait. There is a mosque every couple of blocks here. There is a small one on every school property. Large department stores even have prayer rooms in them. We once saw an imam leading prayers at the front of the grocery store. Religion is serious business here. |

This pink mosque has quite an intricate design. Most are much simpler than this. |

This is the Grand Mosque, or National Mosque as some call it. It is by far the largest in Kuwait. |

This is the prayer room in the Arab Fund building, but is typical of what you might expect to see in a mosque, only with fewer people. |

As you can see, average neighbourhood mosques, like this one next to our apartment, are fairly simple. |
