The Liberation Tower

The Liberation Tower, a 372-meter-high telecommunications tower, is the second tallest structure in Kuwait. The tower's construction began before Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990. It was supposed to be named The Kuwait Telecommunications Tower. During the Iraqi invasion, there was no damage to this structure, hence it was given the name Liberation Tower. The construction, which was nearly half-complete at the time of the invasion, was postponed. Then the work on it resumed when Saddam Hussein's forces were forced out on February 27, 1991. The tower was renamed the Liberation Tower after its completion in 1993, representing Kuwait's liberation from Iraq.

Ceramic tiles are used to build on the facade from the ground to the first mezzanine level. From the base, three natural light shades create a geometric design. Inside are offices, restaurants, and an observation deck where you can view locals at work. The tower is not available to the public for direct visits. If you want to visit the tower, you can contact the AWARE Center or the TIES Centre.
