Breakdown of living cost

Water & electricity:

Water, electricity and landline phone are very cheap, do not worry about them .Most of the apartment include Water and electricity with the rent.

Regarding landline phone is will cost you around 30 kd per month, 30 kd = 120 $ , u can check currency rate in yahoo.com.

Food:

There are a variety of different types of restaurants in Kuwait. You will have your choice of all different ethnic foods, chain restaurants, and original restaurants. It all depends on your preferences and what you choose

In my opinion buying grocery items to be prepared at home will save more.

Broadband connection:

There are 3 ISP in Kuwait, Zain,Wataniya and Viva.
In my comparison I will consider 2 things the 3G and the price.

Zain:

From my experience when I used it .I found that their network is weak because their towers are old so the 3G disconnect sometimes and in some places always disconnect or no signal.

Wataniya:

From what I heard from my friends and our company users their network is strong and the 3G rarely disconnect.

Viva:

From what I heard from my friends, their network is very strong and 3G rarely disconnect. They have less subscribers because it a new company.

For prices check with any branch of zain or wataniya or viva and they will provide you prices list with details.

Hi there,

Good luck!
