Baghla - 15 fils

The Baghla was one of the largest and most important traditional sailing vessels used in the Arabian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. Renowned for its capacity to carry substantial cargo over long distances, the Baghla played a vital role in the maritime trade networks that connected Kuwait with ports in Arabia, East Africa, India, and beyond. These voyages helped facilitate the exchange of goods, cultures, and commercial relationships across a vast region.

Before the development of modern shipping and the rise of the oil industry, vessels such as the Baghla were essential to Kuwait's economy. They supported trade, pearling, and the movement of goods that sustained coastal communities for generations. Today, the Baghla remains an enduring symbol of Kuwait's rich maritime heritage and seafaring traditions.
