As of late 2025, Kuwait International Airport (KWI) mandates full biometric fingerprinting and facial scanning for all arriving foreign nationals aged 6 and over. This new security protocol has added 20-40 minutes to immigration queues during peak arrival banks (evening flights from Europe/Dubai). While the system is automated, first-time visitors must complete the initial enrollment at the border control counters. Factor this extra time into your schedule if you have arranged a pickup or have a tight connection.

Yes, airlines have ramped up capacity for the winter 2025/2026 season. Kuwait Airways recently added frequencies from Munich and Barcelona, while ITA Airways has expanded its codeshare options via Rome. This increased competition has slightly softened economy fares, which now average €450-600 for round trips booked 2 months out. If you see a “direct” option on a budget carrier, verify it’s not a technical stop in Turkey or Egypt, as true non-stop service is primarily limited to legacy flag carriers.

Dress conservatively to respect local customs—shoulders and knees should be covered for both men and women. For women, loose-fitting trousers or long skirts with a modest top are ideal; a headscarf is not required unless visiting the Grand Mosque. Men should avoid sleeveless shirts and short shorts in public spaces like malls or markets. While you will see relaxed attire at private beach clubs, sticking to modest dress in the city prevents unwanted stares and is considered polite.

Yes, Kuwait is generally very safe with low violent crime rates, but staring and unwanted attention can be an annoyance. Dressing modestly helps mitigate this significantly. It is best to sit in the back seat of taxis and avoid walking alone in industrial or isolated areas at night. Kuwaiti culture is hospitable, but maintaining formal boundaries with male strangers is the cultural norm. Careem is safer than street taxis for solo women as the rides are tracked.

Kuwait has stringent drug laws that classify many common painkillers and psychotropic medicines as controlled substances. Tramadol, codeine, and certain anxiety medications are strictly prohibited without a specialized permit. If you must bring prescription medication, carry the original packaging, a recent doctor’s letter, and only the quantity needed for your trip. Being caught with banned substances can lead to severe legal consequences, so check the Ministry of Health’s latest list before packing.

While the desalinated tap water is technically safe to drink, the quality of pipes in older buildings can be questionable. Almost everyone—locals and expats included—drinks bottled water for taste and safety. Bottled water is cheap and readily available everywhere. Use tap water for showering and brushing teeth without worry, but stick to sealed bottles for hydration.

These “Superdeals” usually appear 2-5 months before departure. By joining our free newsletter, you get alerted the moment these fares appear, allowing you to fly luxury for the price of premium economy.
