Things You Need Before Going to Kuwait

Make a list of the things that you need to bring, and once an item made it on your list, make sure to actually pack it inside your luggage. You could check or cross the item out on the list when you are done packing each item.

A nice pair of sunglasses would be very helpful when you are in Kuwait especially when you travel during summer. Bring lightweight clothing for those hot days and a handy bag of clothes so that you can change when necessary. For the ladies, you could bring lots of makeup if you fancy them because women in Kuwait apply black eyeliners and heavy makeup on their faces and eyes.

Pack your favorite sunblock, too, preferably one that has an SPF factor of 20 or up, petroleum jelly, lipbalm, and moisturizing body lotion because your skin and lips will tend to get dry in Kuwait. You could also bring umbrella to gauge yourself for rainy days as well as for the scorching hot days.

You need to bring a video camera or a digital camera to capture every moment and the beautiful views and sites in the beautiful city. But remember not to take pictures of the ladies covered with abbaya, inside the shopping malls, oil companies, and the king's palace because you might end up in jail.

The wintertime in Kuwait is from November to May, so if you happen to travel between these months, then you should bring your favorite coat, jacket, windbreaker, and anything that could keep you warm.

Sometimes, Kuwait could be very wet and cold during winter so pack your comfortable and warm boots, shoes, or any water-proof footwear that will keep you warm and dry. If you plan to walk in the towns of Kuwait, then bring comfortable sandals or shoes. Kuwait could be very dusty or sandy so bring boots to protect your feet.

You could also bring a good insect repellant. Make sure to pack toilet paper as well because not all restrooms have them. Of course, never forget your cash because you will not be able to eat at their restaurants, sleep at their hotels, and shop for souvenirs and other stuff.
