What do people like (and dislike) about Kuwait City?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Kuwait City, they replied...
"I dont like the weather, the fact there is no entertainment. I dont like the indecisive government. I dont like the racism kuwait has towards expats," remarked another expat in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
"Expats and digital nomads living in Kuwait City, often appreciate the tax-free income, which allows them to save a significant portion of their earnings. They also enjoy the modern infrastructure, high-quality healthcare, and excellent education system. The city offers a variety of shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment options, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. Additionally, the central location of Kuwait City makes it convenient for travel to other countries in the region. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may find the extreme heat and harsh weather conditions challenging, particularly during the summer months. The conservative culture and strict adherence to Islamic customs can also be a significant adjustment for those coming from more liberal backgrounds. This includes restrictions on alcohol consumption, dress codes, and gender segregation in some public spaces. The high cost of living, particularly for housing, can also be a concern for some expats. Finally, traffic congestion and limited public transportation options can make getting around the city frustrating at times," said a member in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
