The Dhow Harbour is situated right behind the Scientific Complex. Entry is free and anyone can just stroll all the way right up to this harbour to come on-board the 'Fateh el Kheir'. The Fateh el Kheir, which means Bringer of Good Fortune, is the last surviving wooden dhow from the pre-oil days. These lovely wooden ships were used for pearl divers who risked their lives trying to obtain the best quality pearls from the Arabian Gulf. Before the discovery of oil, this was one of the main trade activities in Kuwait. The dhow ship is lovely to see, but you must walk all the way around the Scientific complex to catch sight of it - mind you don't miss it.
