A few days ago, my mom, Nathan and I went on a sunset cruise of the gulf. Abeer's husband owns a sea tourism and fishing business, and they took us out for an amazing evening. This is the marina where his boats are parked.
Some pre-cruising pictures :)
Bon voyage Kuwait...
Captain Nabyl gave great commentary of the boats we were passing, and history of things we were seeing.
Iranian ships carrying vegetables and fruits
A shipwreck from before the Gulf War.
The company that owned the boat unfortunately did not have enough money to repair it. Everyone was safely rescued off of the boat, but the boat found its new home in the middle of the sea.
They tried to remove the boat some years back, but found it is now part of the ecosystem so they left it in place.
Watching the sunset over the shipwreck, just gorgeous!
As the sun set, we turned on the music, enjoyed food and drinks, and great company.
Abeer made a delicious hot tea with saffron for us to enjoy.
Nabyl introduced us to line fishing, au natural without the rods. He and my mom fished for a while, and his first line in he caught a fish!
Nathan and I rarely get pictures of just the two of us these days. I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I included them all. Do you have a favorite?
We sat for a while and talked and laughed as we watched the Kuwaiti skyline come to life. Everything looks so beautiful lit up at night.
From the water, it felt like we really could have been off the coast of just about anywhere.
Finally we began making our way back to land.
And into the marina
And then it got even better. Nabyl got us the best falafel we have ever tried from the market. And we left with fresh fish…minus the head :).
Thank you for the fun evening Nabyl and Abeer. We will do it again!

The sunset cruise was definitely a highlight of our trip. Unfortunately Art was not able to go as he was under the weather. Kuwait is beautiful at night with all the buildings lit up. Nabyl and Abeer are wonderful friends and between their great company and the excellent food they had, the evening was a super success. Thank you Heather and Nathan - We love you.
What an experience! An opportunity that we are glad you were given and that you didn't pass you. The view looks spectacular. Thanks for sharing with us. Continue to enjoy the time with your parents.
Love, Dad and Mom P.
Your pictures are awesome! Love the ones after dark with all the buildings and lights. My favorite of you two is the first one! Enjoy your family time!
Looks BEAUTIFUL! What a fun night out with your parents and friends.
I am going to go with picture number 3 and ask what the fine print on the 'I LOVE it when MY WIFE let . . .'
