Koweitien February 22nd, 2006, 11:43 PM No. this design for marina mall before they change it !
OK thanks for clearing that up :)

The design was done by SSH right ?
Kuwaiti February 24th, 2006, 08:50 PM The project is dead. Its been 5 months and no construction has started yet...
Koweitien February 24th, 2006, 09:10 PM The project is dead. Its been 5 months and no construction has started yet...
Emm I think that Bu Yusef already cleared this up. He said that Marina Mall replaced this project i.e. they're not gonna do this project anymore :)
Kuwaiti February 24th, 2006, 09:18 PM No they were...
The project is near showbiz and pizza hut. The guy manning the project covered the waterfront with tons of sand and kept it like that for 5 freaking months...
Koweitien February 24th, 2006, 09:25 PM No they were...

Do you mean this project is in Ras Al Salmiyah ? Or is it between pizza hut and showbiz ?
Kuwaiti February 24th, 2006, 09:45 PM Between showbiz and pizza hut
Koweitien February 24th, 2006, 09:52 PM Do you mean it is on the beach or at the entrance of Showbiz ?
Kuwaiti February 24th, 2006, 09:56 PM on the beach. very obvious, youll see a ton of sand and nothing on it!
They dug out the beach and replaced it with sand and were going to build these renders. but the project failed since the parliament didnt agree with it and now its paused...
h_arc_h February 24th, 2006, 11:01 PM the project model shows that it is not for the area kuwaiti discribes .. because simply what is the purpose for the bridge shown in the photo ?
AlOnSi February 25th, 2006, 04:17 AM The guy manning the project covered the waterfront with tons of sand and kept it like that for 5 freaking months...
The guy is Hamad Sabah Al-Ahmad

He did not have any permits for this project thats why they paused it as far as I know
Koweitien February 25th, 2006, 04:20 AM Now I'm starting to respect the government again :)
Skoulikimou February 25th, 2006, 04:28 AM dont worry this project will back to track in no time, specially with the current political situation ;)
BTW this project is on hold for years as i can remember
differences75 February 25th, 2006, 04:30 AM it looks like a nice addition, any development on that side of the water would be nice, as long as they don't proclaim the entire shoreline ... and keep most of the beach free of charge ..
Kuwaiti February 25th, 2006, 11:28 AM The guy is Hamad Sabah Al-Ahmad

do you know when itll continue? it really looks stupid right now, just sand :rofl:
AlOnSi February 25th, 2006, 12:36 PM no idea
Sanchero February 26th, 2006, 01:20 PM The land between pizza hut and showbiz with alot of sand was supposed to be a dolphins park as I heard. Am I mistaken?
CrazY February 26th, 2006, 02:27 PM The land between pizza hut and showbiz with alot of sand was supposed to be a dolphins park as I heard. Am I mistaken?

Aha lool. I knew that not all ISPs ban these websites only the conservative ones :) Don't lose hope I saw workers installing those phone cables. These cables are supposed to be the best in the world and this will enable great internet service. These cables will be installed all over Kuwait :colgate:
Btw thanks for the pic and I will try posting the photo on a different hosting website :)
