Culture and traditions Kuwait

 Traditions and customs

Kuwait is governed by the Muslim religion. Although many Arabs have western dressing habits and some western-world business attitudes and practices, not respecting some of their social customs can be offensive.

Like other countries, Kuwait expect visitors to observe Kuwaiti behaviour norms, stricter than in other Arab countries like Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Lebanon. Islamic customs generally define the people's lifestyle and a particular attention should be given, especially when it comes to dressing and the Ramadan month of fasting, during which food or drink cannot be consumed between sunset and sunrise.
