Souq Al-Mubarakiya

Vendors sell goods such as Persian silk carpets, antiques, perfumes like musk and oud, gold and silver jewelry, and traditional costumes.

Other goods sold at Al-Mubarakiya include dates, honey, spices, sweets, vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish.

The market also hosts two small museums: Sheikh Mubarak Kiosk and the first pharmacy in Kuwait.

[citation needed] There is a courtyard near Masjid Al-Bahar (Sea Mosque) with traditional cafes that brew tea over coals, and several small restaurants serve authentic Arab and Persian food to the customers in the open air.

On hot summer days, water mist is sprayed from pipes over the tables to cool visitors down.
