Hi !!!
We are an Indian family soon shifting from Qatar to Kuwait. So my husband has been offered 2550 kd salary per month inclusive of hra and car allowance + the bonus if he meets the target . So my main concern is if somebody who has stayed in Qatar can give me a picture of cost of living differences between the two as I have been hearing from ppl around me is Kuwait is slightly cheaper and also how much is the rent for a decent( with security+maintainance+ clubhouse and balcony) 2bhk apartment. And will I be able to save good money with this salary??
Thank you 馃槂

From what I have observed, yes, the rents in Kuwait are a bit lower compared to Qatar. Depending on the area and your needs, you should be able to find something in the 450-600 KWD range.

I don't know what you consider a "good money" or what your lifestyle is, but with the mentioned salary there definitely should be quite a bit left at the end of the month.

Well...there are some realtors in Kuwait, I have never used them personally, just google it out. Usually it is best to go to the neighborhood that you like and ask around for available places, most of the time those will be posted on the building. The dining places are plentiful in all price ranges, but (public) nightlife is nonexistent, so I guess the expenses might even out.
