Bakkara - 45 fils

The Bakkara was a traditional wooden sailing vessel used in the Arabian Gulf for fishing, pearling, and regional trade. Like many other indigenous boat types of the Gulf, the Bakkara contributed to the maritime economy that sustained Kuwait and neighboring coastal communities for generations. These vessels supported the movement of people and goods and helped strengthen commercial links between ports across the region.

Traditional boats such as the Bakkara represent an important part of Kuwait's seafaring heritage and illustrate the skills of local shipbuilders and sailors. Commemorative stamps depicting these vessels preserve the memory of a period when maritime activities formed the foundation of Kuwait's economy and cultural identity.
