Currently in US, spent 3.5 yrs in Jeddah, KSA. Potentially, we will be relocating to Kuwait City between June & August 2016 to manage a contract there for 3-5 yrs. We are interested in getting some first hand perspective regarding life in Kuwait, Kuwait City in particular; cost of living, areas to focus on for housing (Westerner with ME experience), recommendations on schools for our two children; etc. We worked/lived in KSA from 1995-2002. In Jeddah, we lived on a on a Westerners compound. I have continued to run/manage programs in the middle-east since 2005; we are very familiar with the culture. I am currently running/managing programs in Bahrain and Jordan. Seeking first hand perspective regarding life in Kuwait, from a Westerners perspective.
Thank you.
