A NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER

Maisam Qassem’s Threads of Heritage sets the scene for a month of artistry, with an inspired afternoon tea at Peacock Alley bringing its cultural narrative to the table. The Reconnect Journey offers time to recharge at the spa, while Thanksgiving at AVA celebrates gratitude and the pleasure of gathering with loved ones.

THREADS OF HERITAGE BY MAISAM QASSEM

Throughout November, Waldorf Astoria Kuwait presents Threads of Heritage by thread artist Maisam Qassem, an artwork inspired by Kuwait’s historic quarter dinar banknote.

Handcrafted using nails and thread on wood, the piece reimagines a nostalgic scene of children playing the traditional game Hayla. Through contemporary artistry, Maisam brings treasured memories to life, celebrating the cultural identity and craftsmanship woven into Kuwait’s history.

Extending the experience beyond the artwork, the collaboration introduces a Haba through a paper reproduction of the quarter Kuwaiti dinar banknote. On the reverse, a meaningful Arabic message by Maisam appears alongside the Waldorf Astoria monogram. Each note is carefully rolled, tied with string and individually presented to guests as a keepsake connecting them to the heritage at the heart of the collaboration.

THREAD AFTERNOON TEA

Peacock Alley presents Threads Afternoon Tea, inspired by Threads of Heritage by Maisam Qassem and the memories expressed through her artwork.

The experience brings together delicate savory bites, handcrafted sweets and freshly baked scones served with artisanal jams. Traditional Arabic coffee adds a distinctive local touch, while a refreshing tableside sorbet provides an elegant finale. An invitation to pause and connect, this afternoon tea pays tribute to Kuwait’s heritage through the artistry of its presentation and the warmth of its hospitality.
