Overview

Kuwait

This emirate sharing the gulf with Iraq attracts more businessmen than tourists. However, Kuwait has interesting desert landscapes and beautiful beaches skirting the Persian Gulf. The country also has one of the largest amusement parks in the Middle East in Doha Village. Most of the trip will be spent in Kuwait City, a patchwork of high buildings, luxury hotels, big and well kept parks and gardens.

Safety and security: Kuwait

According to the FCO (Foreign & Commonwealth Office), there remains a general threat from terrorism. Terrorists continue to issue statements threatening to carry out attacks in the Gulf region. These include references to attacks on Western interests, including residential compounds, military, oil, transport and aviation interests.

You should avoid public gatherings and demonstrations.

Our Editorial team's advice

Although Kuwaiti Islam is more liberal than in Saudi Arabia, you should respect the islamic customs: no shorts, short skirts or low-cut clothing. Almost every piece of luggage is searched by the customs; it is thus recommended not to bring along pork-based products, alcohol or goods from Israel. Lastly, cohabitation is not recognized.
Learn a few words in Arabic, Kuwaitis love that. Seek authorisation before taking pictures of the locals.
For business appointments, you should be punctual and never cross your legs, or expose your soles. Coffee is a real institution and it is advisable not to turn down an invitation to have coffee (or tea).
