Kuwait As Seen by an American Tourist: Safe but Lacking in Tourist Vibes?

Aya Elgohary

An American tourist recently shared his thoughts on Kuwait in a viral video, and let’s just say it got people talking! In the video, the tourist praised Kuwait for its safety, saying he felt comfortable exploring the country. However, he quickly pointed out that he saw far more expats than locals, which surprised him.

According to him, Kuwait seemed more like a business and oil hub rather than a tourist destination. He mentioned the lack of tourist spots and places to relax, stating that while the country’s infrastructure is modern and impressive, it doesn’t seem to cater to leisure and tourism the way some other countries do.

The video sparked a mix of reactions, with some people agreeing that Kuwait is indeed focused on business, while others defended the country, saying that it has its own hidden gems if you know where to look. Some comments were more lighthearted, with users saying, “Kuwait isn’t about tourism, it’s about surviving the heat and enjoying shawarma!”

Overall, the video highlighted how different people perceive Kuwait—some see it as a safe, expat-heavy business hub, while others believe there’s more to explore if you dig a little deeper.
