Dasman - THE Old Town Chinatown OF Kuwait City
Like Old Town Chinatown in Portland, Dasman in Kuwait City combines a sense of history with government presence. Dasman, situated near the coastline, is one of the older and more prestigious areas in Kuwait City. It's characterized by its proximity to landmarks such as the Dasman Palace, which is part of the royal family's properties, and the accompanying expanse of greenery in the form of palace gardens. Further contributing to its significance is the presence of the National Museum and the National Library, embodying cultural and historic narratives of Kuwait. The neighborhood is also known for the blend of old and new architecture, offering a beautiful seafront and a corniche that is popular for leisurely strolls and jogging.
