Restoring order on Kuwait roads by Ribosom
I am so looking forward to see this law properly implemented. I have a trace of hope as they mention camera systems getting installed in patrol cars. Fingers crossed, as the jungle mentality on the roads is my top issue in Kuwait by far. KUWAIT ...
Quite a funny post... I don’t think anyone actually expected anything would change… Read More
Traffic in Kuwait by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Which city or area do you live in in Kuwait, and how do you find the traffic? How long does it take to commute to work or run errands? Is there a rush hour in your city? What times of the day would you recommend people to ...
Kuwait has serious traffick problems and as far as I can see no long term urban planning there is no real bus system no trains no trams insufficient parking and very limited attention to the traffic laws however this is all attributable to the ... Read More
Latest Traffic Saga by SportsMan
Very interesting article: and all fine and dandy if it happens. I am all for conequences: You break the law, you pay. Simples. But I am all for the law to be equal for everyone as well. Pity I counted 4 on their mobile phones this morning on ...
I think the article pretty much summarises Kuwait action and reaction punishment for expatriates and wasta for citizens. However it’s would be grossly unfair to say that only Kuwaiti drivers are breaking the traffic laws because everyday I see ... Read More

Is it easy enough to get fresh organic produce in Kuwait?
I also spent a lot of time on the Saudi\Bahrain causeway to buy groceries that simply couldn't be bought in Saudi so I understand completely your concern. Kuwait is a small country and whilst there is an abundance of food its all imported and ... Read More

Is it easy enough to get fresh organic produce in Kuwait?
Fresh.organic whole food is difficult and the supply is unreliable and expensive. Be careful of American fruit and vegetable imports because 90% is GMO which for the most part is not permitted to be sold in Europe. Read More
Pollution Reaching Disastrous Proportions by rabdcd
I went for a walk to the beach yesterday and frankly what I saw gave me little hope for humanity so I wasn't surprised to read the below article in the news paper today - Its very disturbing to see reading and yes governments need to make ...
Government needs to do something about the big industry but people can do so much. The trash empty cans and bottles cardboard coffee cups etc. lying around is the result of lazy people who can't be bothered to take their own trash and place it ... Read More

What to expect when moving to Kuwait by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to Kuwait? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life. In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know ...
I found and still find the bureaucracy to be awful and in many cases nonsensical for example a person might have been driving his/her whole life but can't have a driving license unless they have a university education. I find the traffic and ... Read More
Learn to drive from scratch in Kuwait
Can anyone recommend a driving instructor who can teach my wife to drive from scratch. My wife has never driven in her life and wants to drive. An intense course of lessons 4 or 6 hours a day for as long as it take would be ideal. We would prefer a ... Read More

Building Safety by rabdcd
My family live in a new building and I am constantly aware that there is no provision for fire detection or any means to fight a fire. The owner of the building locks the main door at night and in the event we had to get out there is no panic bar so ...

I have tried to discuss many times even gone formal in writing but seems like the landlords have all the rights and most probably we will move when the lease expires. It's such a shame to think for the cost of a few smoke alarms the landlord ... Read More
