Because it is a cultural and religious thing, banning Alcohol and night clubs made us as Kuwaitis able to enjoy our times in different ways. I know it is hard for Westerners to adapt to this lifestyle, however, it will give you another meaning of joy. You don’t have to drink or go to a night club to have fun. There are other ways to do so. I am Kuwaiti but I study in Australia, my Australian friends keep asking me “ wait, do you really don’t drink? .. Oh, you don’t go to night clubs! Oh that’s boring” No it is not boring at all. In Melbourne instead of going out for a drink or a night club, I go and have a walk on Yarra river, I go and watch a movie, I go to concerts, I just have a walk in the CBD, I go to a cafe, meet my friends in the mall, go for a dinner cruise, hire a boat and drive it in the river, go and visit heaps of the nice places melbourne has to offer, most of them they don’t even know them. Being a Kuwaiti, made me able to enjoy my time in every way, whereas my Aussie friends only spend their night at night clubs. For me, their lifestyle is boring not mine, I am enjoying my time in both Kuwait and Australia. Also, for example, if I go to country/ or a city or a town in Australia for a holiday, and then I realise: oh there is nothing much to do here, I can still enjoy my time and this holiday may become the best I’ve ever had.

[@jafmo568]

I was born in Kuwait then I lived in Nz and now in Melbourne , Australia Personally, I think that the clubbing scene is overrated and you will get over it at some point of your life. Then you sort of prefer the simple quiet life style. This is what I see with majority of people including westerners.

[@UnknownBeast41]

That's amazing man I totally agree. I also study abroad (UK) and their idea of having fun by clubbing is boring and depressing. But personally I'm meeting more and more British people who mention that they don't club or find it unbearable which is nice to hear.

Accurate and fair comparison unlike other westerners. Kuwait is a very underrated country mainly bc lack of "alcohol/nightclubs" tbh I like that! I like the relaxed nature of my country I don't want it to be full of tourist and lose that calmness and uniqueness.

Your very right I live in Dubai and it's really crowded compared to Kuwait And Kuwait is much more peaceful (both are peaceful though) Though because I don't really like shopping it can get boring at both places Dubai and Kuwait But Dubai and Kuwait speak the same language (a little bit different) khaleeji Arabic And Kuwait has less activity's then Dubai The people of Kuwait are really fashionable! And the people of Dubai are tolerant and respect differences. I recommend visiting these places if you like the modern life and the city life But if you hate the hot then don't come at summer but winter is fine

you don't need alcohol/nightclubs to have fun ,Kuwait is a very safe place to live .kuwait is a very small country with less population so trains and stuffs like that is not really needed as everyone owns cars and bus system is really cheap and fairly nice .

[@cryptotharg7400]

The ME is generally HOT! But, in winter, places like Riyadh in KSA, get a week or so of huge rainstorms, that completely overflow the city's drainage systems, and cause massive chaos on the highways and freeways. When it gets really cold, at night, there are often snowfalls, too. I lived and worked in Riyadh for over 4 years, and never got into a traffic accident, which is incredible, when I look back on it.

[@clarabella452]

To be honest I invested as low as $1100 with expert mrs Jane because I was skeptical initially, receiving my profit gave me more

[@M45q198]

Main difference between Kuwait and other countries that Kuwaiti are more likely to show freedom because we are semi democratic in terms of speaking up we were the pioneers in development but you know a lot of things happened to Kuwait and still happening which left the country going backward But we are going to return to the top Kuwait a multicultural And the cultural very clear anyone can feel it because it small country.

Interesting points you’re making about Kuwait👍🏻 Speaking of freedom of press, Kuwait was the number 1 middle eastern country in freedom of press back in 2010. It surpasses Israel & ranked 60th on the world. But then due to the failure of Arab spring, freedom of press had dropped in Kuwait (as the entire region) last time I checked it’s ranked 103 globally. Even though it’s still number 1 among the GCC countries & among the top 3 Arab countries.

In Kuwait their is three branches of gov 1. Legislative that are selected by the people of kuwait, they make the laws . Then 2. You have the executive they are the ones that enforce the laws and they make some laws that needs approval from the legislative branch which is parliament. 3. Judicial branch of government that is separate and independent from they other 2 branches of gov.

You can still drive from Kuwait to Bahrain, to many cities in Saudi Arabia and to Iraq. You can also take a ferry to Iran. In terms of cultural mentality, a lot of Emirati people are more traditional than Kuwaitis, but we both preserve our Islamic and Arab social values such as family, generosity and hospitality. We are maybe lacking in the Entertainment sector in the mean time, and we don’t have huge flashy events like Dubai does, which is a global metropolis intended for Tourism to diversify UAE's revenue, but Kuwait is still in development - we'll get a metro soon. Look up ‘Madinat al-Hareer’, this why the ‘Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway’ was built for.

Hey, you can save money in both but Dubai is much more expensive in all categories so you will save more money working in Kuwait.
