(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) By Khaled Al-Mutairi HAVANA, Jan 23 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti students on a trip financed by Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) toured various touristic sites in Cuba.
The students were taken to Cuba National Museum of arts, one of the most touristic beautiful sites in the Caribbean, which included more than 5,000 arts pieces.
Later, the students visited Morro Castle in Havana which shares its name with structures in Santiago de Cuba and the Castillo de San Felipe del Morro in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In this case, the Spanish "morro" means a rock which is very visible from the sea and therefore serves as a navigational landmark.
Inside the gates is an exhibition on the lighthouses of Cuba, El Morro once housed a school for lighthouse keepers.
There was actually a watchtower until the British blew it up during their successful siege in 1762. The Faro Castillo del Morro lighthouse was added in 1846.
Afterward, the students visited popular Feira Shop in central Havana, and were briefed on the historic and heritage of the area there.
Student Kamil Al-Hashemi expressed, in a statement to KUNA, his pleasure and joy for the trip, and hailed KFAED organizing the schedule. (end) km.mb
