Low Tide conditions in Kuwait

Low tide conditions prevail near Shuwaikh Port since early morning. You can see the land mass in the pic emerging out of water. Wonder how the ships would sail into the port? Would have a bumpy ride for sure. And I thought ports were supposed to be deep. Maybe I am wrong and all this [...]

InfoConnect 2007 – Kuwait

Just came back from InfoConnect 2007 exhibition at the Mishref fair-grounds. Why am I not surprised to see the lack luster exhibition?
