Failaka Island - Kuwait

DSCF6452
Ok! This time I didn't start the post with a picture of me, because I'm simply not in this album ;p but I think this picture of 'Eva' will do :)


Went on a short tour around the island last month with the Desert Biking Club of Kuwait.. most of the cyclist spent the night there and got a better tour, me and 3 others came back on the same day.. kinda missed out I guess, but it's ok because we went to Johnny Rockets when we got back :D

Anyhow, it was fun ^_^ and here are the pictures;

The sand that covers the ruins is full of shells (more clear if you view original size). So the island was covered with water and then cleared again?

  1. Great work on the photos!
    I was on Failaka last time in 2007.
