WHAT THE HELL ARE THE PARADE TIMINGS??????

OH MY GOD!  Kuwait is so frustrating.  There are all these parades going on - and people are announcing them and passing around schedules - and NO WHERE does it mention timings!  There is a parade "on the Gulf Road" (which is 25km long!) and a military parade in Subiya - no times! ( Military parade is 10 am - 4)

Here is some information I have been receiving from different sources throughout the day.  If you can add, please e-mail me.

-          Kuwait Towers: Special Forces show at 3:30pm followed by fireworks at 6:00pm
-          Marina Crescent: 5000 doves will be released in less than 5 minutes in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record at 3:30pm

Friday Feb 25th
-          Anjifa Beach: Classic Car Show at 1:00pm. they will drive on the Gulf Road starting from Anjifa Beach to Kuwait Towers. Other cars can join.
-          Kuwait Towers: Big fireworks at 7:00pm. There will be launchers moored off the coastline and it will be a really great show.  1 million KWD rumored to have been spent on this show.

Saturday Feb 26th
-          Subiya Road (extension of 6th Ring Rd North past cross with 80): Military Parade that will include Coalition Forces as well at 10:00am. Subiya Road starts from the end of the 4th Ring Road heading North (past Jahra).
