I had the chance to spend two days as a solo traveler in Kuwait City, and it was an unforgettable experience! The currency is very strong, but I managed to stick to a tight budget by using Couchsurfing. The locals were incredibly hospitable and friendly—whenever someone realized I was a tourist, they would offer me gifts or invite me for meals. Believe it or not, I only spent $50 during my entire two-day trip! As for local transportation, forget about asking locals for tips—most people use their own cars or taxis/Ubers. Public buses are mostly used by the working class, but since I was traveling on a budget, I asked around and managed to get by. I was even offered free rides by some of the locals, which was such a kind gesture. For food, I highly recommend visiting Freej Swaelih Restaurant. The local food there was absolutely delicious—I only wish I had more room to eat! Lastly, don’t miss out on visiting Souq Al-Mubarakiye, the local market. I ended up shopping a lot there and loved every minute of it.

Kuwait was safe, not so many things to see, people were not the most friendly. It was colder than Oman. The shopping was great, food was the best. But not so many things to see. I loved the towers. You will have to rent a car.

During my visit to Kuwait city, I was feeling safe in general, but at some moments, for a solo female traveler wasnt so relaxed. First off all - arrival. At the airport, border officers are there to do the visa process, but when they asked for a reason of visit, and I said tourism, they started laughing. I didnt realise why, but after, I got it. Maybe cause the tourism there is still at very low level. Also at the city, people mostly dont walk. Petrol is very cheap so they are driving. Outside was me and few workers at the construction site, so they were staring, as much as people from the cars, usually folowed by loud car horns, which wasnt nice at all. In general, Kuwait was interesting to be visited, but not that much to do and see if you stay only in the capital. Maybe would be better if I had any suggestions from the locals, who knows :)

Kuwait is generally a very safe country i’ve been born and raised here, although to be completely honest if you drive here people drive a little big like shit so you have to always be careful but overall i feel safe
Posted: February 6, 2025I’ve lived here most of my life. Kuwait is generally safe for solo women travelers, with low crime rates and respectful locals. Dress modestly to respect cultural norms, and exercise caution at night or in unfamiliar areas.
