In this vlog, we're exploring more of Kuwait City, Kuwait - specifically, some of the fanciest and newest places in the city. We start off at the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Center, which is an incredible museum complex. Then we head over to The Avenues Mall, which for me was the best mall I've ever seen - better than Dubai Mall.

i was born and i am living in germany. I was also in the
ost of the european countries. you can be sure the all gulf states are more developed than the most of the countries in europe. gulf states have more control about their borders and are more friendliy. you can see the friendly people and the respect because of the muslim people.

Avenues Mall is amazing. I remember when I visited and was blown away. That outdoor feeling part of the mall made it feel like I was walking through a small town. It was great. Kuwait is great. I got spoiled by all the good restaurants and food there.
As an expat living in Kuwait 🇰🇼 I can confirm that The Avenues is quite an experience ❤😊
What do u do there
@@SuperGeentyou can see shops like chanel or Gucci or famous shops in the world and avenues is a small city place alike

I used to live in Kuwait! (I’m in Egypt now) and it’s such a blast over there, especially for people who like video games and animation/anime! I miss the mall a lot,, glad you had fun!
I grew up with many Egyptian friends in school. they'd all moved out now that im almost 30 which sucks, I do miss em.
What’s special for anime fans? In Kuwait
@@imthias5710 there’s shops such as Geekay (more focused on gaming but yknow you might find anime games), Geek Nation and Uff are the only anime shops I know so far, they’re in the avenues mall and a bunch of other malls in the country
🇰🇼🇪🇬💓💓💓💓
I also lived in Kuwait as an Egyptian, and yes the quality of life is like no other. I’m now in canada and feel scammed by life here , hope to go back one day 😄
As a Kuwaiti, I just realized how much I take the avenues for granted.
I'm so happy you came to Kuwait to show your subscribers the country. Specially since we are not a touristic country so a lot of people do not know ANYTHING about Kuwait. There are so many more places to explore other than what was shown and I hope one day we start opening up to become a touristic gulf country.
Exactly I’m from Kuwait too I’m assuming just like you IMAGINE IF PEOPLE KNEW WE EXISTED lol

@@thejuicymop8128 well, the educated people that live in the area know your country pretty well. Some have even visited it (me me me 🤣). A thing to be improved is the service sector.

As a Kuwaiti girl, I can see that you have been able to explain more than one place in Kuwait (in your Kuwait videos as well) and you have explained the beautiful scenery of Kuwait to those who want to go to Kuwait and do not know where to go, I really thank you

The people there are so sweet and they are greeting you everywhere 👏🏻
Am from Uganda, am a nanny and when my boss first took me to Avenue Mall, we entered through the side that's designed like a Paris Street, I froze, said some very "abusive" colourful language to express how beautiful that mall is

So glad you like it! I'm a So.Cali girl living in Kuwait almost 25 years now and it's been amazing to see how Kuwait has grown but still maintains it small town feel. It's been a good way to raise my kids. The last bit of interaction with the young boys is so admirable. Thank you 😊
Dubai, UAE 🇦🇪 gets a lot of the social media “attention” & all, but I feel like the other Gulf countries are so underrated even tho they have the exact same standards 🇰🇼 🇶🇦 🇧🇭… I still love Dubai tho as it was once home too me ❤️. Great vlog Doug!
thanks a lot! i agree!
Dubai was and will always be way ahead of it's time. What others are doing now, Dubai has done long ago.

Good morning Barnard, I was very happy to see your travel experiences.I'm from Bangladesh and I have been there in Kuwait for last 22 years then left end of 2018. During that time I have seen so many developments from the scratch, specially Avenues, Marina, Souk Sharq, Alhamra tower & mall, The Gate Mall, Al-Raya Shopping Center, Al Hamra Business Tower & Shopping Center, Al-Shaheed Park & Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre etc. Me and my family miss Kuwait so much, especially the Arab traditional foods from Al Mubarakiya, we used to have lunch or dinner there every weekend either Avenues mall.Our two children born in Kuwait and they had a lot of pleasure and enjoyed there. So many memories there, Thanks man for refreshing those memories once again.
where are you right now, in bangladesh?
Woahh I can't believe a cool mall like this exists! Dubai Mall can't compete with this!
Yes our Avenues mall ia the best
@@youseftalal4211 agreed
It’s the largest in the middle east and 18th in the world
I born in Kuwait I race in Kuwait until I was 28 years old but I moved out to America for couple reasons I missed Kuwait we have good memories and fortunate going back next month visiting with my wife God Bless state of Kuwait
Hey Doug just found something for you to visit it’s called “shaheed park” it’s urban park consisting of plenty green areas
coming up in the next video 😁
just don't go during the day!!!! it's been 50's every day lately... 😅😅😅
@@doug_barnard if u come to kuwait again in winter you should visit it too its so much better in winter
there is an indescribable positivity in middle eastern countries, love this video😍
Until you look deeper into and see all the corruption here, all the abuse of domestic helpers and human trafficking
I was working @ grand avenues for almost 4 yrs and i just love that place....love from NEPAL 🇳🇵 ❤ TO KUWAIT...
I’ve walked this mall many times. I was amazed as well. One of my favorite places to eat and relax was The Gardens.
Thanks for reviewing kuwait 🇰🇼 I am a Kuwaiti and I like how people say nice things
Kuwait is underrated because I don’t really hear about in the media often but the mall reminds me of the malls in Dubai :)
May God bless our Emir, our people and our land 🇰🇼💙
Life of kuwait is very simple , easy , affordable n good for family and besides being luxuriously amazing it has maintained its core values of religion n culture. Plus humanitarian things in kuwait is well know like 100 fills falafel sandwich , 100 fils of pita bread , nutritious food available in jamiyas( government owned supermarket ) is still going on the same price since it was decreed by the late king as he said no person should b left hungry in this country .
And treating brown expat as dogs!!!!
Just look at the size of some of them, geez’o stop by the salad bar a wee bit more.
Kuwait is not a kingdom so we don’t have kings + no taxes in Kuwait
🌹
lol in Kuwait one of sheikhs made it a law for Falafil to make it ALWAYS 100 fills
Amazing vlog as you do in each odyssey.
Kuwait is a gem in the gulf. Waiting for the next videos.
Thank you for building a genuine and big heart bridge between cultures. Blessings and plenty of health and happiness inchallah.
Im from Kuwait and you made me realize how special the Avenue mall is ❤️
Kuwait is definitely an interesting country to say the least…,Because all I knew from this country was the Gulf War and nothing else… Really happy there’s more to it.
Only thing I don’t like about Kuwait is the way the govt treats the people who work there from other countries. When the govt needs money, they tend to find ways to make people from other countries pay more.
Poor policies for a country who relies on other people from other countries to keep theirs going
@@abukhalilmuhammadosman9979 No
@@abukhalilmuhammadosman9979 I think you're talking about Qatar, yep that's an evil country towards foreign workers basically treating them as slaves. In Kuwait they don't do that as far as I know.
@Nook Small dude your delusional.. but you’re also probably Kuwaiti which figures
@@metaleuman I used to work in Qatar and not for the country Itself.. they have an issue of luring workers from other countries with a promised salary and then capping it at half
Kuwait is a small country with a big heart. Their food and culture is awesome and Kuwaiti hospitality and appreciation for everything is slim to none. 🖤💚🤍❤️🇰🇼

Welcome to Kuwait Doug
I hope you’re enjoying your stay and discoveries . The avenues mall has lots of different phases done by the hands of international architects reflecting different eras. I really think you’ll enjoy paying a visit to alshaheed park near your hotel and, if i may, recommend you to book a boat trip to an island where you can sit back and enjoy some fishing and tanning on huge sea floats.
واو مره حلو ابد ماتخيلت الافنيوز كذا 😍😍
One of the best malls, they opened The Avenues in Bahrain few years ago and now they are building new one in East Saudi Arabia in Dhahran
I was born in Kuwait, been there a few years of my life, Loved it ..... Sweet Memories...!!!
Much love from Pakistan...!!!
I advise you to go to the Al-Othman Museum, which is worthy of cultural content, and it is one of the most beautiful museums in Kuwait
Enjoy your time
Coming from Kuwait 🇰🇼
thank you!
حيا الله الكويت من الاردن ، الكويت دائما بالقلب.

Love from UAE 🇦🇪 Kuwait’s neighbor and I respect it although you said that’s it’s better than Dubai mall 🇦🇪❤️🇰🇼
Thanks to Doug and the Saudi guy 🇸🇦 for showing the bright side of the country :)
I've been to both Dubai Mall and The Avenues Mall many times! They're both insanely vast world class malls it's really difficult to choose which is better but if I had to go for one It'd be The Avenues Mall. By the way, this great video has covered 2 phases of the Avenues (Phase 3 and 4), there are 2 more phases and a bigger movie theater(Cinescape) in phase 1. And yes it's bigger than Dubai Mall but not by much. Hope you enjoyed your time in Kuwait 🇰🇼
This is by far the best coverage/representation the Avenues mall has ever had and a very fair one ☝🏻
I go there every 3-4 days 😊
And you’re right, I’ve been to Dubai mall it’s got nothing on the Avenues including the atmosphere and I’m not being biased as a Kuwaiti :D
Literally, I am Kuwaiti and l have visited the Avenues more than once,
but in places in the video. Not once did I go to her and was shocked
by her beauty. Thank you for this nice video and tour.
May the peace of Allah be with you always.
As a person who currently lives in Kuwait I have just realized that there are so many more sections of the avenues. Btw this is only phase three-four there is the original avenues and there is the grand avenues. I have just discovered your channel and I am currently loving your videos, keep up the good work!
Yah thank you from my heart for this journey Doug it’s pretty much beautiful to show for the people in the entire world how Kuwait looks like.❤️🇰🇼
I am Arab and I live in Kuwait thank u for visiting our country I also went that mall I always go there with my brother and sister

Kuwait is my country that I love 💕 it has a lot of malls and games
I lived in Kuwait for 5 years (2013-2018) and seeing The Avenues mall brought back so many memories. They've added a lot to it since 2018 but also so many of the stores and restaurants remain the same. Definitely the best mall I've ever been to and that includes Dubai Mall in UAE and Mall of Asia in Philippines. Thanks for the video and walk down memory lane!
The Avenues is definitely a beautiful mall not to be missed on any trip to Kuwait . The shopping options are amazing . Even some of the restrooms are 5 star luxury 🤣. All types of restaurant and a sea of beautifully dressed people to entertain the eyes. Now all I need is a pocket book that compares to the offerings.
i love kuwait.... people talk more about Dubai. but for me Kuwait is the best and i love kuwaiti people.
I really like this mall too! I just arrived few months ago and I'm in love with Kuwait!

Hi Doug I just wanna say you're a great explorer I am actually here in Kuwait fir already 5 years but haven't see the full avenue's mall maybe in my next day off I will go there....
thank you! hope you get a chance to check it out!
@@doug_barnard i am native Kuwaiti and i haven't seen all of the Avenue's, for those whom concern ;P
all i know it is so huge! the fun fact i order my stuff from US Amazon lol
I will thank you 💛
I live in UAE but I love Kuwait and his people.
definitely better than the Duabi Mall and far more cleaner! The only thing missing in The Avenues is an art exhibit, but the facades of most shops are works of art themselves. Love the boutique cafes all around the city with their own unique menus. The coffee culture in Kuwait is what I missed the most.
Be quiet
There is .. see the part where there is a cinema in front of Mercedes dealer? Occasionally some art exhibits are there .. also near cheese cake factory
No way, bro. I went to the Dubai mall toilets. It's like a better than 5 stars hotel it's more luxurious
@@roxas6094 And also Kuwait from experience
There is an art exhibit near the Fendi store in the Prestige
As a Kuwaiti who sees the Avenues Mall and the science center normally you made me realise that I really take them for granted ❤❤
ولا اروووع من الكويت واهلها💙💙💙💙💙
Did you know towards the end of the video, at around 17:35, you were looking at the biggest H&M store in the world? Most people miss this fact, thought I'd share :D
I thought the mall was normal but you made me realize how beautiful it is
Bro I’m from Kuwait and you made me wanna go to the mall again. You are so good! Keep it up buddy.
Fantastic video as usual Doug. That's an awesome looking Mall
The gardens is actually a mini indoor garden in a mall that have a chain of restaurants as well! It's really beautiful to see! ❤️❤️
Oh I miss Kuwait alot!! Specially the Prestige Mall
Best video from the series 👌🏼 the avenues was amazing we had to go there a second time during the day
beautiful place, honestly after living in a backwater for so long i could use a good mall!
you are always welcome to kuwait thank you for visiting even though i’m kuwaiti and went to all places i enjoyed this video ❤️
as a kuwaiti i have been in avenues a bunch!!! and honestly seeing it from your perspective has made me realize how beautiful it is!
i have been there so many times to the point where i know where everything is
haha awesome!
Uhh thanks for posting this vid 🥹 im homesick these days (studying in the UK) so it was nice seeing Kuwaiti families & the avenues 😩💔
This place is beautiful and sophisticated💕
I'm from Jordan but I currently live in Kuwait and I love it 🇰🇼❤
That was fun, if you're still in Kuwait then there's a cool oil exhibition in Al Ahmadi area, opens from 9 am to 6 pm according to Google maps.
I did not have fun in Kuwait. I am from Las Vegas, and although I am an American, my skin color is brown and my family origin is the Philippines. Many people of my color are treated like wearing leash servants, and locals talk to me wondering why I am speaking in English. That was one unpleasant encounter I had when I was in that country.
God bless my beautiful country ❤️🇰🇼
Welcome, I always go there and it’s never boring. Also, I like that it’s not so hard to know the places you’re mostly going in a one straight line.
I agree 100% with you this mall is on pair with Japanese ones and cleanliness and service overall I had, absolutely world class and excellent.
You HAVE to try the “commando fries” and “maple glazed buffalo shrimp” you can get it in “b+f open flame kitchen,” burger boutique,” or “slider station.” It’s one of the best things you will EVER eat in your life!!! PS, these 3 restaurants have the same owner, that’s why u can find the same meal in all 3 of them.
There are many places in Kuwait that you can go to, such as 360 Mall, Thaqit Mall and Al Kout Mall 😭😀😀
اللهم أحفظ بلدي من عيون الحاقدين🇰🇼❤️🇰🇼
امين 🤲🏻
The section you called space zone is actual designed like nyc (I think, that’s what my friends told me)
I agree I have visited Kuwait about 5 times and each time the mall still impressed me.
Great video buddy I can assure you here in new Zealand we have nothing remotely close to that gem of a mall
Well new zealand is not known for the mall lol
Wellcome to kwt i hope u love kuwait 🇰🇼💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Honestly, this is the best thing ever built in Kuwait.
Best mall in the world. End of discussion
Actually I live in Kuwait so i know everything about Kuwait and your impressions were dope man keep it up!!
I visited Avinos and every time my head spins from its size and beauty 🇹🇳
Welcome to Kuwait and your vlog is so amazing💙🇰🇼
I hope you will come to Kuwait again in winter in October or November. It will be better and you will have more activities than in summer because in summer we prefer to go to shopping malls because the weather is very hot. They have opened new malls which I am sure you will love. There are new and very beautiful places in Kuwait, but unfortunately most of the places are open during the winter because they are outdoor places, so it is preferable to come to Kuwait during the winter as it will be better and you will like it at least listen more than in the summer 💙💙💙💙
