What do people like (and dislike) about Salwa?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Salwa, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Salwa, often appreciate the relatively low cost of living, especially when it comes to housing and utilities. They also enjoy the diverse and friendly expat community, which makes it easy to make friends and socialize. The city's location near the coast offers beautiful beaches and opportunities for water sports, which is a major draw for many. The local cuisine is another aspect that expats and digital nomads enjoy, with a variety of Middle Eastern and international food options available. Additionally, Salwa is known for its safety and low crime rates, making it a comfortable place to live. However, there are also some aspects of living in Salwa that expats and digital nomads may not enjoy. The hot and arid climate can be challenging, particularly during the summer months when temperatures can soar. The lack of public transportation options can also be frustrating, making it necessary to own a car or rely on taxis to get around. Some expats and digital nomads may find the cultural differences and conservative nature of Kuwaiti society challenging to adapt to, particularly when it comes to dress codes and social norms. The strict alcohol laws and limited nightlife options may also be a downside for those who enjoy a more vibrant social scene. Lastly, the bureaucratic processes for obtaining visas and work permits can be time-consuming and frustrating for expats and digital nomads looking to live and work in Salwa," explained one expat living in Salwa, Kuwait.
