Last weekend we decided to drive to Subiya, the place of construction of Kuwait's City of Silk. It is the place where world's tallest tower is to constructed. The place is 150kms from our house. It was a longgggg drive and we enjoyed it.
How to go from Abu Halifa : We took highway 40 and drove to 7th Ring Road. Drive straight till you get the meeting point of (7 n 6th ring road). Drive straight......
It is a long drive and its desert on both side of the road.....
The point where 7 n 6 ringroad meets is near the Shooting Club of Kuwait. Drive straight. You will cross Sulaibiya(the whole-sale vegetable and fruits market) ......then cross the Al Abdullah City.....Jahra......Jahra Industrial Park
Most part/ area on both side of the road and slowly as you drive straight and nearer to your destination you will hardly see any cars.
It was our first visit to the area so we followed the sign boards
Just drive straight.....sign-boards will guide you. But as we drive , a point will come where you will get confused.....construction of the road is going on and to some extend there is no sign boards. Dont get confused.....just drive straight.
As you drive straight on the 6th Ring Road, you will see Al-Sabah Military Academy/ Commondo Camp
Drive straight and you will see Sabah Al Ahmad Natural Reserve (20km) from the Academy
Did you know about it?? We didn't know and was pleasing surprise and decided to visit it soon.
The road is deserted.....desert on both sides and you will get to see naturally formed sand-dunes.
And how come you have not come across camels in the desert.......very soon you will get to see them also
On your left you will see "Military of Interior's Shooting Range"............Further ahead you will see sign -borads indicating "Camping Area"........"Khuwaisat Chalets"(635-640)
Drive straight..............hardly you will get to see a car or people
Then you will cross National Guard Society /Khajma Camp.............Drive straight..........You will get to see desert sands on both side of the road.....sand dunes
You will see another board indicating Sabah Al Ahmad Natural Reserve.
Drive straight.......... don't forget its a longgggggggggggg road.
You will see a Telecommunication Station to your Left.
Drive staright..You will get to see a board indicating Subiya Radio Station to your right..Sabriya to your right..........Again camping area to your right..........drive straigt..........get to see a board like this......this board you will come across many times
Drive..........Get to see boards like this
More camels..........
Camps.........
You will see a bridge.....we were over joyed.........we knew we were near our destination.
The bridge connects Subiya to Boubyan Island (the largest island) of Kuwait
The construction of the bridge is over but not open to public.
The Hyundai power plant near the area
Preliminary infrastructure like roads, bridge are under construction.....
You will understand that construction is going on ....
Little further you will get to see..........
Subiya Police Station
Just loved these desert trees
The initial infrastructure like roads,bridge is constructed....couldn't see what construction is going on in the Boubyan island as entrance is closed to public.It's just at the initial stage and lot and lotttttttttttttttttttttt of things to be constructed.
But one thing is sure,construction is going on and though the project maybe delayed the splendid city will be completed someday.
