Kubbar - The Anticlimax

I had never EVER been to Kubbar Island until last Thursday, as a fortunate guest on some friends' boat. All of my countless island excursions over the past decade have only been to Um El-Maradem أم المرادم or Garoh or even the little sand bar across from Ras Al-Zour, a.k.a الحالة .

For years I kept hearing my cousins rave about Kubbar even though they're geographically closer to the other islands. So I always thought it was something special. But to tell the truth, if I had been blind-folded and taken by boat I would not have been able to tell the difference between Kubbar and Um El Maradem. And it wasn't as green as that picture above, or maybe because it had been scorched by the hot summer sun.

And where was the notorious party scene everyone keeps talking about? Sure there were a few Westerners in bikinis, but big f--king deal!

Anyway, this doesn't mean I won't go again or that I won't accept any future invitations to Kubbar. Just tell me when and I'll be at the marina faster than you can say "Anchors Away! "

  1. I've also wondered where the party at!
    All the Island party goers are apparently on a "special drug" that makes them invisable.

  2. Perhaps someone confused it with St. Barts and the legend went on.

  3. A-bomb testing ground...the surface is radioactive now . You have to find the passage which takes you to the hidden underground club/secret zombie lab. People are way too drunk or high to do a head count after they leave the island. The guys you saw are NOT "few Westerners in bikinis" but flesh-eating-radioactive Zombois. If you feel the urge to go back there..then its too late...you are infected now with the Virus.

  4. after fighting the urge to not comment, i must give in. people use your brain for just one second. its an ISLAND. if you dont take soemthing there, then its not going to be there, in other words, if you dont take the party then there is going to be no party. you are all a bunch of shitheads anyways, going there to ogle a westeners in their bikinis. get over yourselfs. if that is what you want, then turn Kazaa on and download some porn! no wonder foreigners dont go there any more because a bunch of morons are chasing the like hounds. Kubbar, Qaroh, Umm Al-Maradem used to be get aways formt he mayhem, sanctuaries, but now all they are is just another place where you think you mingle if you're single. and dont be a retard and leave trash behind. your maid isnt going to pick up after you all through your life, do something for yourself for a change and dont leave trash behind or you will destroy one of the few beautiful things in Kuwait
