‘Preserve Kuwait’s ancient past’
KUWAIT CITY, March 6: A member of the Heritage and Antiquities Preservation Committee in the Municipal Council, Maha Al-Baghli, spoke of a tendency by the Council to transfer the Mubarakiya project to the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) to ensure the preservation of these heritage buildings to prevent their exploitation or being demolished so that “we do not lose this beautiful and ancient past of Kuwait’s history.”
