The Scientific Center

by Hexepatty

In search of life and things to do in Kuwait, we went to the previously unknown or unheard of World Famous SCIENTIFIC CENTER. It was pretty cool. Cost us $9.00USD each to go to the Aquarium. Had we had a little more time, we would have checked out the IMAX theater to catch a nap in the AC, but we were FAR too preoccupied with leaving the country by this point. There is a food court with Pizza Hut and Burger King.Getting There: End of the Fourth Ring - well that is what the maps say, but it's not so simple. 4th ring ends and you have to do a series of left / rights / and left /rights to get there, but it's on the water and you really can't miss it. Well, we missed it 3 times, but that's not the point. You will find it. You'll have plenty of time to find it. You're in Kuwait. You have nothing but time!

Things to do in Kuwait

by sunnysidessite

1. There are activities - socials - that you could get involved in like there is a Bikers' Club, if you'd like to bike around the desert on better days. better weather conditions. There is more than one scuba diving club (I don't know what you specifically like to do).....There are also book clubs - try Diwan Book Club which is relative new and have Kuwaiti and foreign members and they meet each month to discuss a book at a selected Starbucks coffee shop.2. It does not necessarily mean you have to stick around with Westerners or Europeans, but honestly the society is a little jaded. Nevertheless, if knowing the culture and Arabs is your idea, trying visiting a social house called AWARE Center. They might interest you.3. You can make friends with any Nationality unless you personally are prejudiced or have difficulty messing with people of various race, colour and social status. That...

Sample the local cuisine

by KeithFitzgerald

Go anyplace both in the larger cities (Kuwait City, Fahaheel, etc.) or just one of the thousands of of small "hole in the wall" merchants who have set-up little shops and sample some of the local or international cuisine. The smell of freshly baked Arabic Pita bread, with chicken, beef or lamb freshly grilled and wrapped in a "swarma," which is is the sandwich made with the pita bread is delicious. There are so many international cultures which have brought their cuisines along to Kuwait. Indian, Thai, Iranaian, Philippine...you will spend your time wisely sampling all the foods which each culture and ethnic group have to offer

New Construction

by MM212

Kuwait City has finally caught up with the construction boom affecting other Gulf cities. It started here a little later. Although construction here is still on a smaller scale than Dubai or Abu Dhabi, some of the new architecture is interesting, such as the twisting building in the attached photograph. Nevertheless, the urban planning in Kuwait is quite lacking compared to sister cities on the southern shores of the Gulf.

Liberation Tower

by MM212

The Kuwait Liberation Tower was completed in 1993 and named to commemorate the liberation of the country from the Iraqi occupation. Construction of the tower actually began before the invasion, but was halted during the occupation. The tower was to be named the Kuwait Communcations Tower, but it was replaced by a more symbolic name after its completion. The top of the tower has a revolving restaurant with panoramic views. The tower is the highest structure in Kuwait, rising to 370 metres.

Cuban Cigars

by finneyboy

Ever wanted to smoke that infamous Cuban Cigar? I sure did, and when I saw them readily available at most countries in the Middle East I jumped at the chance. Some might not consider smoking a cigar something to do, but in Kuwait you quickly run out of activities to keep you busy if you're in the country for any time at all. Calling up some friends and staring out at the Persian Gulf while smoking a Cuban Cigar became a weekly thing and is something I won't forget anytime soon.

Get your hair cut!

by finneyboy

After my first hair cut by one of the local barbers I was addicted. I got my hair cut weekly even though I didn't really need it. After a cut and a shave, they spend a good 10 minutes massaging your head/shoulder region. The going rate is only a couple KD for all the services listed above and you leave feeling and looking great! A tip is not expected but it sure does put a big smile on their face and they remember you the next time you stop by.

Basement Floors

by finneyboy

You may not feel comfortable wandering through random buildings in downtown Kuwait City, but if you do I can tell you that it will be worth it. In many basement floors of hotels, shopping centers, and other public buildings there are a variety of things to do. Some of these places have expansive gamerooms with rows and rows of pool tables, table tennis, and air hockey. You can play for cheap and they are never crowded.
