Mirror House-Tours by Appointment ONLY! — Attraction in Qadsiya

While visiting Kuwait City this was just and unforgettable experience. I love to travel and always looking for an unique experience. Well, this was one of them and much more ! Lidia is a very special artist and even more an incredible human being. To have her as a tour guide explaining so much about her and her husband's art, about the creations of mirror mosaics throughout the house was just magical. I felt like being transported to a different world and dimensions when entering each of the decorated rooms. What a blast I had. Time flew and I spent there close to 3 hours. I was treated also to a cake, personally baked by Lidia, received gift bag with special gifts, but to top it all her fantastic daughter Jalila insisted on driving me to my "next" destination. "...it's all part of the package, she kept saying" :) To experience local life, to have local people interactions is always on top of my list when traveling and this Mirror house visit just accomplished all that but also created memories and feelings I'll never forget ! It is just a must when visiting Kuwait City!!! Thank you again Lidia and Jalila, you are one...

I'll be honest, I was not expecting much from this visit! I didn't read any reviews, so I was floored and fascinated all at the same time. I was greeted at the gift shop by Lidia Al Qattans daughter, and proceeded into the reception area, the minute I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. Without giving too much away, only a visit could justify any review. Lidia is truly inspiring and well beyond her time, her creative genius and love of family is evident in every room of the house- she prances around magically with passionate explanations of her artistic endeavors evidenced yet again in the well crafted activities throughout the tour. This isn't just a museum, it is an experience and a deep dive into creativity shaped by culture, family and love. Nestled away in city, this mirrored masterpiece of a house stands out subtlety yet artistically inviting outsiders to discover the beauty, craftsmanship and creative genius of Lidia and Khalaf Al Qattan. Highly...

It is an amazing place! The artist, Lidia, gave me a private tour of the house, and I had an amzing time with her. She is an extremely intelligent and passionate lady. Cannot believe that she is 85 years old, and still so full of life! The mirror works are beautiful and the paintings from her late husband, Khalifa Qattan, (displayed upstairs) are great. You rarely see such great paintings in Muslim countries.

Lidia spent almost 3 hours with me, and I felt so privileged. Such an honor to get to know a great artist. Also, Lidia and her daughter showed me such a warm hospitality. Prepared cold drinks for a humid day, small snack for the road, and lovely souvenirs. Thank you so much!

Definitely worth visiting in Kuwait!! They have a bit strick Covid regulations, but it was understandable, cause the artist still lives in that place. (It was private residence, and the artist is getting old. Her health should be taken care of.)
