The Al-Salam Palace in Kuwait City, Kuwait

The Al-Salam Palace in Kuwait City, Kuwait. The photographer is standing under a circular concrete roof supported by pillars looking through a yellow and black metal railed fence. Steps leading up to the palace with a procession of lamps either side of the steps are in the middle ground. The circular building of the palace is in the background. A note by the photographer on the slide mount says the building cost £1,000,000.
