Sand Gardens: Remal International Festival

Obviously there is no such thing as a sand garden but the term seemed fitting for this blog. Earlier this month I was in Kuwait and attended the Remal International Festival, also known as the "Proud to be Kuwaiti' Festival. The main attraction was a sand sculpture exhibition that was breathtaking by day and beautifully illuminated by night. The sculptures reminded me of the Mosaicultures Internationale exhibition in Montreal last summer. Sand, corn flour, and water were the main ingredients used which is quite marvellous if you look at the stunning results. Kuwait isn't exactly the country one has in mind when it comes to tourism but February is definitely a great month to visit should the need/desire ever occur. The weather averages between 20-24C and Independence day on the 25th means there is no shortage of festivals and other events.
