I love friday market. I love starting my day with an irritated indian man trying to sell me a non functional cassette player from the days of yor. I go almost every weekend, and I have no clue why more people don’t.
Yes there is a lot of crap. Friday market consists of approximately 97.62% crap, and yet its that remaining percentage that keeps me coming back. You see I am a bargain hunter. I love nothing more than the thrill of finding a pristine singer sowing machine from the 1920′s amongst a gigantic pile of used spoons. Thats why I go, and thats why you should too.
It always boggles my mind how few Kuwaiti’s I know actually go. Its a treasure trove of fun to be had and yet no one seems to want in. I mean, i’d be more than happy to keep it to myself, but my decency just wouldn’t allow it.
And so this is my PSA and your reminder people: Go to Friday Market, it happens every week, every friday in fact, and saturday as well. Spend one day walking through the nicknacks, and who knows you might come out with something special.
Heres a couple of pics of the last time I went with my friend who visited recently. It was hot.




I haven’t gone in yrs yalla this winter I will go chk it out maybe make an outing out of it
I seriously love it, especially if the weather is good.
Great site.Very smart and useful.
Thanks! So glad you like it
I love the parking lot.
I am the one posing in the pics. If you find it slightly awkward that I am hugging a wall in the seconod pic, it’s becuase I’m from the North Pole and I’m not used to heat like this. So the room was AC’ed and it was nice and cold to hug… Also, Theyab, the parking lot is great, when you can find it
Bring a GPS into the market…
Hind, maybe you could make it more obvious where to press to publish our comments? That plus sign wasn’t too easy and also, after pressing it I did not get feedback like “Your comment has been posted for review…”
I went there last month!
An Indian sold me a broken PS3 for 10KD. I bought it, cleaned it up and troll’d my nephews.
Good times.
Loved the golfing pic… Lol!
Lol love it, i wanna go!
I was so excited to find your post, I love the Friday market, but so many people I speak to about it are just not keen on going. A German friend of mine bought loads of things, kept going back for more.
