Hello everyone,

Settling in Kuwait, like every new environment, can feel like stepping into the unknown and brings many questions: how will it go, how to integrate successfully, etc.
To help smooth this transition, we invite you to share your experience since you landed in Kuwait, whether recently or a long ago:

What was your first impression when you arrived?

Did you face any challenges while integrating? Any advice on how to overcome them?

Are there any support programs, groups or events to help newcomers settle in?

Do you find it easy to make friends or connections with locals and fellow expats?

What makes Kuwait a welcoming destination for expats?

Share your insights and experience.

Thank you for your contribution.

All the insight you need, describing the life of expats from East and West along with observations about the locals, can be found in the book The Capital of the Superficial. I have read it twice and sometimes still go back to it.
