The Sultan Center: Complete Imported Groceries (Western)

by pangtidor

Most of the things will be available here. It has all the groceries you want, wide varieties of fruit-vegetables, cooked take away food, home center section for the furniture, electronics, books and movies, hallmark and kuwait souvenir gifts section. It has 10 branches all over Kuwait : Salmiya 5719621, Sharq 2408772, Al Kout 3930511, Fahaheel 3921536, Salwa 5636790, Ahmadi 3989128, Shuwaikh 4812371, Mangaf 3712955, Jahra 4571843, Dhajeej 4341997. Hotline will be 4330111. They have TSC Rewards Program Card for the frequent shopper so you may earn some points by shopping there for some TSC offers. I may suggest Sharq branch for convenient shopping where you could enjoy your time in Shouk Sharq and beach walking where TSC Sharq is located. Shuwaikh branch is a perfect place for budget family groceries shopping among other branches. You can get everything you want in here. In case you can...

Like Other Carrefours: THE CARREFOUR

by pangtidor

It is located in the Avenues Mall, at the 5th Ring Road, New Riggae Area. It is one of the biggest department stores in Kuwait with the cheaper prices on the food and clothes items. It has the best deal for the cell phone during the special offer time. It has more cashiers so you will not be trapped in a long line. The other convenient thing to shop in the Carrefour is it is easy to reach the indoor parking lot with your shopping trolley.

Marina Mall: It has a beautiful Crescent Side

by pangtidor

Marina Mall is located at the Arabic Gulf Street at Salmiya area. Its interior design is one of the best ones for the malls. You may dine in at the Crescent side, can be reached by a bridge in front of Harley Davidson stand, at the book section of Virgin Megastore. See my things to do tips: Marina Crescent Side. There are more options for the food courts on the third floor. It has many fashion stores on the second floor, and the parking place will be on the ground floor.

THE AVENUES: Where you can spend all your time at

by pangtidor

The Avenues is the biggest mall of Kuwait for now, located at the intersection of 5th Ring Road and Gazali Street. Wear the comfortable shoes because this mall is huge, you may spend more hours inside. All of the international brand fashion stores will be available here and during the sale season the discount may reach to 75-80%. Many great restaurants located near the entrance and at the second floor. It has Carrefour for groceries and IKEA for the budget furniture. The cinema is the best in Kuwait and the parking lot is the biggest among the malls. The mall will be opened from 10AM to 1PM and 0430PM to 10PM and up to midnight during the weekend.

AL-MOHALAB MALL: The Titanic Mall

by pangtidor

It is located on The Tunis Street, Hawally area, at the back of Hawally Park. Some used to call it as The Titanic Mall because the shape of this mall looks like a deck of the boat. It has many fitness centers on the top, good cafes, and some good brand stores. Good place to visit during the sale time because the place will not be too crowded like other malls.

Traditional gifts and souvenirs

by chizz

It is nice to take home shisha pipes, arabian perfumes and incense and large brass coffee pots can be bought at the Friday Market. You can also have a custom made necklace with your name in arabic - the souq opp. Marina Mall made me one - best to get a rhodium plated necklace to go on it though as mine tarnished very quickly (as it was silver). Dates are excellent from Bateel (just outside Marina Mall - opp. Samsonite) but they are expensive. Bargain at the market

Jarir Bookstore

by pangtidor

It is one of the best bookstores in Kuwait, located in Hawaly area on Tunis Street within the Hawaly Park. It is not only the bookstore, but also the place where you can get more options for stationery, school stuff for your kids, as well as the computers’. You may see some computer stores within Hawally area with the cheaper prices, but you will not get the same good assistance from their staff with the better customer services for any complains you may have.

Arraya Mall: The most elegant shopping centre in Kuwait

by MM212

Arraya Shopping Mall is located in the Sharq area of Kuwait City. It is attached to the Courtyard Marriot Hotel. This shopping centre is the most elegant in Kuwait City and has many of the most renowned fashion labels. It also has a few nice Cafés and restaurants.

The Avenues: Kuwait's Newest Shopping Centre

by MM212

Kuwait's latest addition to its shopping mall menu, The Avenues, is also its largest. In fact it is so large that it contains two Starbucks coffee shops! My preference, though, would be to have coffee and the more elegant Paul or le Pain Quotidien, both of which are present at The Avenues. The enormous shopping centre offers a wide selection of mid-range shops, such as Zara, Next, Debenhams or Ikea, with plenty more yet to open. Carrefour, the French supermarket chain, is attached to The Avenues. Bring your comfortable walking shoes!

LULU HYPERMARKET: A Real Hypermarket

by pangtidor

It is a chain hypermarket of LULU, other than the ones in UAE,Oman,Qatar,KSA,Bahrain,Sudan and Yemen. There was a smaller LULU hypermarket in Fahaheel area but the one in Shuwaikh area is much bigger, newly opened in March 2007. Many items will be cheaper than any other supermarkets in Kuwait. Many varieties of vegetables, fruit, and spices will be available here. You may enjoy and take away the prepared food (Indian and oriental) while you do shopping. The hypermarket has two floors, the first one is the groceries hall and the second one will be the fashion-stationery-furniture-electronic-etc items. It is a big place to shop in, has many cashier counters, scale counters, and big coridors so you dont have to be worry of the crowd even on holiday time. It has a big parking area and may be reached by bus number 12. Photographs are strictly prohibited so I cant give you more pictures inside...
