Comment: I don't think previous concerns are addressed thus far. A number of sentences still sound promotional or non-neutral (Example: Enjoy one-day trip by taking a boat to one of Kuwait islands, such as Kubbar and Failaka. On the island or the boat, enjoy your time picnicking and swimming. You can also go fishing using trawls. Rent a dhow for a hundred (100) Kuwaiti Dinar. This includes crew and all running costs. These kind of trips is ideal for outings of a small office, or three or four families.) S5A-0043Talk 14:22, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Sources also don't always validate the promotional slant in statements, for example "Kuwait's attractions are gaining popularity and are recognized as some of the most significant attractions in both the Middle East and Kuwait itself", which besides being a nonsensical sentence ("Kuwait's attractions are .. recognized as some of the most significant attractions in ... Kuwait") is not backed up by the source, which is just a list. Greenman (talk) 19:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Comment: Styyx's decline of four months ago has not been addressed; this still reads like a travel brochure, and the section stating that not too many people actually DO visit Kuwait on vacation is somewhat telling (and seriously, no one visits another country for its shopping malls). There are also numerous unsourced statements. Ravenswing 23:26, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Comment: Copyvio removed. Some unsourced sections exist, and the text mostly reads like a Wikivoyage article. ~StyyxTalk? 22:45, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
The country's major tourist attractions include Kuwait Towers in Kuwait City, Al Hamra Tower, which is currently the tallest curved skyscraper in the world, Sabah Al-Ahmad Sea City, a marine city that is located south of Ahmadi, and the Grand Mosque Of Kuwait, the largest mosque in Kuwait, which is located in Kuwait City. The Amiri Diwan recently inaugurated the new Kuwait National Cultural District (KNCD), which comprises Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre, Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre, Al Shaheed Park, and Al Salam Palace. These destinations recently has become famous tourist attractions, luring more tourists onto the region.[3][4] And with a capital cost of more than US$1 billion, this project is said to be one of the largest cultural investments in the world.[4]
