Cost of Living in Kuwait

"The cost of living in Kuwait is generally considered to be high, with the cost of basic necessities such as food, housing, and transportation being significantly higher than in many other countries. The cost of rent in Kuwait is particularly high, with the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Kuwait City being around $1,000 per month. Other costs such as utilities, transportation, and entertainment can also be expensive. However, the cost of living in Kuwait is offset by the country's high wages and generous benefits, making it an attractive destination for many expats," said one expat in Kuwait.

"Living in Kuwait can be more cost-effective than living in the United States in some areas. The cost of living in Kuwait is generally lower than in the United States, with rent and utilities being particularly affordable. Food and transportation costs are also lower in Kuwait than in the United States. Additionally, Kuwait has no income tax, which can help to reduce overall expenses," wrote a person living in Kuwait.

"The cost of housing in Kuwait varies depending on the location and type of property. Generally, the cost of renting an apartment in Kuwait is quite high, with prices ranging from around $1,000 to $2,500 per month. Buying a property in Kuwait is also expensive, with prices ranging from around $200,000 to over $1 million," explained one expat.

"MUCH lower. About $500 or so a month for a good two bedroom apartment. Again, most companies provide housing as part of the contract. It's rare to find an American paying for their housing," said one person in Kuwait City.

"The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Kuwait can range from around $1,000 to $2,000 per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment can range from around $1,500 to $3,000 per month," commented one expat who moved to Kuwait.

"In Kuwait, rental properties typically include a refrigerator, stove, oven, washing machine, and air conditioning unit. Some properties may also include a dishwasher, microwave, and other small appliances. Furniture is usually not included in the rental, but can be negotiated with the landlord," commented one expat living in Kuwait.
