I Traveled To Fahaheel

I am jealous! All my life I felt pity for people living in Fahaheel especially at college when they travel all the way to get on time. They always got on time while I was the one who got kicked out of class.

So I went to Fahaheel. I went to Al Koot. It was my second time. And I am even more impressed. I love it there. Some shops that aren't available here, the different kinds of people, and it's lovely fountain.

Last time I went there only Costa was open but today there were different cafes. And they are all good. Even on my way back I found Breadtalk! They have everything there that they don't need to come to the city. Sigh, our co-op is still struggling with it's lousy pastries. Fatayir em7aisen anyone? :p
Even our samboosa guy sucks (yes MsBaker I am jealous of yours).

Best thing there (I promised not to tell and keep it for myself but I just can't) you can find your size! Whether for garments or shoes although the place is full of people! Even on sales when shops here are out of stocks, you can still find stocks there.

Ok I made enough of a da3aya. Yes I had dinner there but it was for take away. Wouldn't look good in a picture.

Vintage! what house number? LOL
hey walla you were on my mind and i looked around but found no houses, looking from the parking that is. all i found were some buildings.
your comment is fit for a tour guide. i'll bare that in mind next time i go there. too bad i can't go there anytime alone. safra lazim ma7ram, hehe ;p
5. i haven't been to ajyal, where is it located?
LOL @ the fire legend.
12. i live in fahaheel, but i don't know mohammad elyas :P who's he?

good morning to you too. your comment was expected ;) but at 5:43?! you blog before going to work!? :P and they call me an addict! :P~

on our way, we accidently went through a street that was full of shops and on the right side there was a wide long building that was under construction (that used to be a parking lot i think) sheno hatha, kil hatha o matabini feel jealous? it's becoming like a shopping city just like Dubai! anyway what caught my attention was the large number of foreigners, mostly indians. it felt like cruising around kuwait city. it IS a city like you said. o 3oqbal el embassy.

Hmmm , I haven't been to Al-Kout yet cuz I think I need a whole day to explore the area ...

Nice shot, did you shoot it yourself?

it's no that big, cos half of it is for fruits and vegtables. the shopping area is smaller than soug sharg.

thanks :) yes i did. you can see 2 more when you click on it.

I totally agree with You Falmy ..I really ejoyedit when I was there .. 9ij very nice place .

بس في عيب واحد .. صالة الطاعم وايد صغيرة .. ما فيها طاولات كفاية

يعني تخيلي كانوا الاوادم يطلون بصحون بعض .. يشوفون من اللي يخلص عشان يقعدون مكانه .. هذا اول ما فتح طبعا و كان يوم الجمعة

الصراحة اول مرة يصير فينا هالموقف .. ضحك
