Hawally, Kuwait

Hawalli is an area about 8 kilometers (5 miles) south-east of Kuwait City. It is a mainly residential area between the 3rd Ring Road to the north and the 4th Ring Road to the south with Maidan Hawalli and Sha'ab to the east and Rawda to the west. It is really a suburb of uwait City but was one of the first established. There is a good deal of redevelopment going on at the moment (October 2004) and many of the older uildings are being cleared to make way for new apartment blocks and shopping complexes. Althought mainly residential there are many shops along Tunis Street and Beirut Street including one or two modern shopping malls. There are also the usual fast food outlets (KFC, Burger King etc).
