Local Insider Tips

  • Kuwait is a dry country — alcohol is illegal to import, buy or drink anywhere, including hotels
  • Friday and Saturday are the weekend; many shops open only after sunset Friday
  • Dress modestly in public (shoulders and knees covered) — stricter than UAE
  • Summer temperatures regularly hit 50°C; almost everything happens indoors or after dark
  • The Avenues and 360 Mall are the main hangouts; Souq Mubarakiya is the place for traditional food
