Photo Diary Part 1: Wandering the corners of Kuwait’s Old Souk, Mubarakiya.

I’ve always loved strolling the streets of the old souk, especially in the early hours. No matter how many times I’ve been there, Mubarakiya always has interesting little corners and scenes to discover and capture every time. That’s what I love about it!

If you keep your eyes peeled and are mindful of the surroundings, you’d be surprised at how many details and moments are hidden in the everyday life of this souk.
