Kuwait

Overview

Less than a 6-hour flight to our first stop, Kuwait.

The plan is to stay in Kuwait City and visit Salmiya.

Food is a mixure of Kuwaiti, Persian, Lebanese, Indian and shockingly, virtually every American fast food chain. We’ve built a list of places to see based on watching a million travel vloggers.

A key trip within Kuwait is Salmiya to see the summer house Gordon and his family stayed in 45 years ago while his dad worked nearby. The building is still there and there’s even a possibly the flat they lived in is vacant…hoping to get in to check!

QUICK FACTS

Kuwait is an emirate. It is the 5th richest country in the world, and the Kuwaiti dinar is the highest valued currency in the world. The earliest evidence of human habitation in Kuwait dates back to 8000 BC.
