Because it is a cultural and religious thing, banning Alcohol and night clubs made us as Kuwaitis able to enjoy our times in different ways. I know it is hard for Westerners to adapt to this lifestyle, however, it will give you another meaning of joy. You don’t have to drink or go to a night club to have fun. There are other ways to do so. I am Kuwaiti but I study in Australia, my Australian friends keep asking me “ wait, do you really don’t drink? .. Oh, you don’t go to night clubs! Oh that’s boring” No it is not boring at all. In Melbourne instead of going out for a drink or a night club, I go and have a walk on Yarra river, I go and watch a movie, I go to concerts, I just have a walk in the CBD, I go to a cafe, meet my friends in the mall, go for a dinner cruise, hire a boat and drive it in the river, go and visit heaps of the nice places melbourne has to offer, most of them they don’t even know them. Being a Kuwaiti, made me able to enjoy my time in every way, whereas my Aussie friends only spend their night at night clubs. For me, their lifestyle is boring not mine, I am enjoying my time in both Kuwait and Australia. Also, for example, if I go to country/ or a city or a town in Australia for a holiday, and then I realise: oh there is nothing much to do here, I can still enjoy my time and this holiday may become the best I’ve ever had.
I was born in Kuwait then I lived in Nz and now in Melbourne , Australia
Personally, I think that the clubbing scene is overrated and you will get over it at some point of your life. Then you sort of prefer the simple quiet life style.
This is what I see with majority of people including westerners.
That's amazing man I totally agree. I also study abroad (UK) and their idea of having fun by clubbing is boring and depressing. But personally I'm meeting more and more British people who mention that they don't club or find it unbearable which is nice to hear.
Hi i am Sanam from Pakistan thinking to.move Kuwait is this country is reliable from us is this country so strick
Well said hamad
Well said. I think both sides have their perks. I will visit Kuwait in April during Ramadan and I am super excited to see what it’s like
Accurate and fair comparison unlike other westerners. Kuwait is a very underrated country mainly bc lack of "alcohol/nightclubs" tbh I like that! I like the relaxed nature of my country I don't want it to be full of tourist and lose that calmness and uniqueness.
GUST 👌🏼
Kuwait is having sexual abuse
@@ziaxazia9899 are you kidding me?🤣🤣🤣 you should compare kuwait crime statistic with USA. After that you can talk.
@@ziaxazia9899 Can u not talk out of ur arse?
Your very right
I live in Dubai and it's really crowded compared to Kuwait
And Kuwait is much more peaceful (both are peaceful though)
Though because I don't really like shopping it can get boring at both places Dubai and Kuwait
But Dubai and Kuwait speak the same language (a little bit different) khaleeji Arabic
And Kuwait has less activity's then Dubai
The people of Kuwait are really fashionable!
And the people of Dubai are tolerant and respect differences.
I recommend visiting these places if you like the modern life and the city life
But if you hate the hot then don't come at summer but winter is fine
Im n Indian from Bombay and very blessed to b in Kuwait... God bless Kuwait n Kuwaitis and all expats who have come here to make a living... i will love Kuwait to da very end...i am very grateful to God to b in Kuwait cos r own country couldn't take care of us.... God bless 😊
I agree with you buddy
I agree bro
But we can't close our eyes to the sufferings that our less fortunate country men experience in Kuwaiti households. What excuse does Kuwait have to exploit workers when they are so rich & can give proper pay.
True
watching this video while living literally right next to where he is sitting IS MINDBOGGLING
Hey Mike! 😊 Great video! I lived in UAE for a few years, and now have lived in Kuwait for the past 8 years. I agree with everything that you are saying regarding both places. There are a bit more things to do in UAE but I prefer the simple life. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching!
Salam sis where in Kuwait do u live ?
I was in Kuwait in 1975 till 1990 I left Kuwait 2 days before the iraq Kuwait war
I love Kuwait and Kuwait
People
I agree whole heartedly with all you've said. .- I live in Kuwait and I love it here. Been here 3 years and you summed it up perfectly: Kuwait is a place for simple people with simple pleasures. Great video bro.
Thanks for your comment Michael I appreciate that
0:40 theres no trains no busses, sees bus coming buy in the background
5:44 u can see two buses in the back lol
Yeh I don't know why i said that, I used to take the bus from work every day 😂
I guess I meant the buses in Dubai are better, easier to find and to use.
@@MikeStillUK exactly! :)
Mike Still kuwait is also planning on making a huge train station around the country, i bet it’ll help alot
@@MikeStillUKouch we are known as the London of the gulf for our busses 😢
I'm Emirati and I love Kuwait ^_^ ,,

From Kuwait 🇰🇼 , a country has no similar, a people has no similar. Unique and peaceful with all.
I been in Kuwait for 20 years until now .
I'm Kuwaiti and I agree on all what you said 100% 👍
Hi , I’m from France and I plan to move to Kuwait as expats. Because of problem religion and politics…. Can u recommend me a city where can I find a good job and good life quality?
you don't need alcohol/nightclubs to have fun ,Kuwait is a very safe place to live .kuwait is a very small country with less population so trains and stuffs like that is not really needed as everyone owns cars and bus system is really cheap and fairly nice .
Emaratis are most humble people, they dont show off like others
true
Not true
Ali Ferrari enemies of emaratis wil say that, i m i here from past 12 years , my friends relative,my school mates , , and many friends from other countries, nobody faced such issue till date.
Ali Ferrari they are
The women are show offs it's terrible
Kuwait is supposed to get a metro rail system any day now…
Keep dreamin....😪
the metro project is being planned for 20 years, no worries, it'll all come in the next 100 years maybe
We should've had it operational since 2018😂 😂

I was living in Dubai for more than 6 years, and I'm planning to move to Kuwait, you forgot to talk about jobs opportunities and I think Kuwait is the best place to get a job rather than Dubai is the best place for tourism and shopping.
I was there for over 6 years, I liked UAE more than Kuwait because 1. the roads are safer ( there are no crazy drivers, overtaking and racing in the highways) , plus they seriously follow the traffic rules, like they actually stop for pedestrians who are crossing the street. 2. I find emiratis more friendly and welcoming to expats. 3. They really make an effort to make the streets more beautiful. 4. Working in Kuwait depends on the company where you belong to, but its better there coz of no taxes. But in UAE. there are more job opportunities for expats and the labor law is really helping the workers, unlike the in Kuwait where you cannot really fight for your rights unless you have a "Wasta".
I'm from Nepal.I feel good to talk to people with variety of culture and lifestyle.💐
Kuwaiti people are a lot more liberal compared to Emirati people, that is known. Emirati people are more traditional.
Ahmed nah people who are liberal are org from Iran or another country living in Kuwait but the local of Kuwait are not
mohamad matar
...So Kuwaiti people are more liberal, doesn’t matter what their ancestry is.
Liberals? Are you paid to say this? 😂😂
Arabic are conservative and selfish
Sarcasm comment.
Mike, I am a tour guide at the grand mosque of Kuwait and I would love to give u a tour.
No bus??? I was teaching in Kuwait and took the bus many times. Taxis were so cheap that it was actually better than public transport.
There is no buses
0:44 a bus shows up
joshypaul.07 yeah you’re right

Hey Mike, I’m Palestinian but I was born and raised in Kuwait 🇰🇼
I’m currently a senior film student in Virginia, USA, but I still go back to Kuwait every vacation, so I hope I meet you one day! I sent you an important message on your DM on Instagram. I would be more than happy if you read it 😁
Thanks!

Hi can we talk
fair comparison, and I think Dubai or UAE in general is a bit more freedom on alcohol side and night clubs, which is very bad to our culture and who we are. Am from Dubai and wish good luck to our brothers in Kuwait.
You can still drive from Kuwait to Bahrain, to many cities in Saudi Arabia and to Iraq. You can also take a ferry to Iran.
In terms of cultural mentality, a lot of Emirati people are more traditional than Kuwaitis, but we both preserve our Islamic and Arab social values such as family, generosity and hospitality. We are maybe lacking in the Entertainment sector in the mean time, and we don’t have huge flashy events like Dubai does, which is a global metropolis intended for Tourism to diversify UAE's revenue, but Kuwait is still in development - we'll get a metro soon. Look up ‘Madinat al-Hareer’, this why the ‘Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway’ was built for.
I have a feeling that I'm gonna love Kuwait more ....maybe because I wouldn't like living in a flashy and sorta glamorous place for long ,.....also Kuwait is quite similar to Qatar right
Very nice and fair comparison. If i will add something it’s that Kuwait is a living life country and dubai is a commercial project. That’s why dubai is much more expensive in spending.
Moving to kuwait this year your videos helped a lot
Bro how is it? I got a job proposal from there but idk if the place is good...
Every place is unique. UAE is Love.
It’s always fascinating how we as individuals have different perspective.
Please do another one comparing Qatar Vs Kuwait. I always find Kuwait unique so is Qatar and UAE but I would like to hear your side on Qatar Vs Kuwait in terms of infrastructure, healthcare people both countries in general
To be honest I invested as low as $1100 with expert mrs Jane because I was skeptical initially, receiving my profit gave me more
Main difference between Kuwait and other countries that Kuwaiti are more likely to show freedom because we are semi democratic in terms of speaking up we were the pioneers in development but you know a lot of things happened to Kuwait and still happening which left the country going backward But we are going to return to the top Kuwait a multicultural And the cultural very clear anyone can feel it because it small country.
I have been working in Kuwait for 10 years and now I am working in Dubai.. i like dibai
Nice vlog brother Mike and welcome back home dear brother im from kuwait and im proud of my country and im proud of you im so happy finally you come back to kuwait we love you Mike we so glad you are with us 😊🌹
i am living in dubai and this the first time that i know that you can drink al kohol
Same, I didn't see any alcohol when I had been to Dubai
wael nobani he probably meant in the restaurants
wael nobani but you can buy alcohol. Everyone knows that.
Maybe bcz u never searched for it Alhamdulellah , and don't search bro 😂
They don’t sell it in the supermarket only in hotels and other city like abu dhabi its rare to find alcohol in hotel or in any place and because in Dubai the majority of tourists not from arab countries ( i forgot to mention that you can buy it from airport )
Interesting points you’re making about Kuwait👍🏻
Speaking of freedom of press, Kuwait was the number 1 middle eastern country in freedom of press back in 2010. It surpasses Israel & ranked 60th on the world. But then due to the failure of Arab spring, freedom of press had dropped in Kuwait (as the entire region) last time I checked it’s ranked 103 globally. Even though it’s still number 1 among the GCC countries & among the top 3 Arab countries.
it’s strange that you were literally sitting on top of my building that i’ve been living in for 14 years 😮 anyways loved the video !! great info man keep up the great work :)
Kuwait has amusement parks and ice skating rinks and now there are even Trampoline parks and escape rooms basically most indore activities
awesome video bro, been living here from Australia, plenty things to do in Kuwait and stay busy, just gotta find that flow and people. Trivia nights, yoga, open discussions, various music events, dance classes.

I live in Kuwait so I LOVE IT THERE :3 iTS SO FUN THERE
@@daaarrcccyy enjoy 👍👍
Ty! :3 you should visit Kuwait if you can it’s soo cool
@@daaarrcccyy I got a job offer from Kuwait but I really got no idea what to do bcs I'm not sure about the city.
The ME is generally HOT! But, in winter, places like Riyadh in KSA, get a week or so of huge rainstorms, that completely overflow the city's drainage systems, and cause massive chaos on the highways and freeways. When it gets really cold, at night, there are often snowfalls, too. I lived and worked in Riyadh for over 4 years, and never got into a traffic accident, which is incredible, when I look back on it.
Kuwait is by far the most opened society in the entire GCC indeed and always has been, at least since I first travelled and lived in the Gulf in the 80s. Granted, Bahrain follows near.
Thank you for stating the truth
استمر ياصديقيGood luck ♥
"There's much more to do it Dubai, there's an aquarium in a shopping mall."

Fawaz_st uh even in Kuwait u idiot

Yeah most people have this misconception Emiraties are more conservative on the contrary to Kuwaities even though their country sells alcohol and has night clubs it's kinda weird lol
Nice, you're back in Kuwait! I used your videos to research Kuwait and will be moving to Kuwait in 2 weeks.
I'm an American who has moved to Muscat. I find the city very livable. Your video is helping me to decide my next travel (or possibly teaching) destination. Kuwait doesn't sell alcohol--oh, dear.
So you are an American "Immigrant" in Kuwait?
good luck!
@@irfanm4014 he is an American expat in Oman lol
@@irfanm4014 Nope. I live in Muscat.
@@JaffarTube Thanks for clarifying
Kuwait 🇰🇼🇰🇼✋🏻
im touched. its nice to hear how expats view the country. glad to have you mike
Thanks Ali
I worked and lived in Abu Dhabi for several years. Didn't have a car, because taxis were so cheap, and there were loads of them. This was back in the 1980s.
I'm live in England 🏴 Go forward friend we love you so much 😍

Kuwait is a simple country for simple people best way to put it..we are conservative but open minded at the same time ..we hold dearly to our beliefs and our simple life but we don’t believe in forcing them on people..it’s not a country that will wow you..it’s a country that you chill you lol and in the previous video an expat said we are rich! That’s the biggest misconception about Kuwaitis..we are definitely not rich! But we’re not poor either..most Kuwaitis are big spenders ..that’s why you see fancy cars everywhere ..That being said I would like to thank her for the nice misconception I’d love to be rich, that’s a nice reputation 😂❤️
Kuwait isn't really dry, everything you want is here if you have the right connections, and I mean EVERYTHING! The lack of humidity is the only thing that keeps me in Kuwait.
0:36 no buses 0:40 bus:hey there
I lived in Kuwait and i agree with you .. I'm Egyptian by the way 💜.

Very informative videos ,good job Mike 👍🏻👍🏻🌺🌺
Im syrian and i live in london your arabic is very good btw

Mike hello! Which country would you recommend to go for work, UAE (Dubai) or Kuwait? Where the salaries is better (in particular as a waiter or seller in boutiques)?
0:55 bruh u said there aren't any busses, one just drove past XD
Glad to see u back to Kuwait hit like if u all agree
im a Kuwaiti and to be honest i think each country has its pros and cons but both countries are great
Interesting video. Even though you didn't actually say which place you think is better, it seems to me that you prefer Kuwait.
We miss you dude welcome to Morocco
In Kuwait their is three branches of gov 1. Legislative that are selected by the people of kuwait, they make the laws . Then 2. You have the executive they are the ones that enforce the laws and they make some laws that needs approval from the legislative branch which is parliament. 3. Judicial branch of government that is separate and independent from they other 2 branches of gov.
Kuwait here ☺ Nice video Mike very informative
And today is my country’s Independence Day long live Kuwait
Happy National day يوم وطني سعيد
Kuwait's population is more than 4 million, not 3 million, there are buses, and rumor has it that foreigners can bring very small amounts of alcohol for personal use.
Contrary to popular belief, the sheikhs get voted in by a cabinet in the UAE rather than ruling because do their statues, it’s a 5 year term then the cabinet votes for their next president and the people of the UAE really like the system because of how well it works. That makes the UAE kinda democratic in that regard but some might not see it like that, everyone in the UAE really likes that so no need to try to change it and protest it.
I ve been living Kuwait for 3 years
you missed out on saying ....that one can go kayaking by the beach in Kuwait too and drive to some new local farms that have been emerging recently some with small lakes ... you could go to Failaka island ...etc .. but great videos overall... keep up the good work

Back in 1995, Kuwait was more advance than UAE. Dubai was nothing back then. I was made to understand that Kuwait wants a balance between spiritual and modernisation. What is more important for them is their people is secured and happy. Kuwaiti people's welfare 1st.
why is urdu so much more cursive looking than arabic. They use the same script right?
Kuwait is good place to live and you can have vacation on Dubai but for living much cheaper and any one can live here
I think the income of Kuwait is higher, but the lifestyle in Dubai is more interesting
In kuwait water can be created by making kilimanjara a permanent show mountain
If you were to base the Kuwait’s infrastructure on the economy, you’ll understand why they don’t have trains and metros.
You are more than welcome to be in Kuwait 🇰🇼
And if you need any thing please let me know
Thank you!
Well opinions can be different from one to another, Im moroccan and I lived in kuwait for 5years, and got a better job opportunity in dubai and lived there for 8 years before I decided to go back to my country of origin, my honest opinion, that emiratis are more welcoming and sweet towards foreigners, very nice people compared to kuwaitis .
We can agree both are better then any western country.
My mom was in d Iraq vs kuwait war 😢😢 but thank god nothing happened to her.❤

You can go skatting in Kuwait ; there is an ice skatting rink in Soor street & its was the first in the region.
that sounds fun
To be honest I feel like some people are going to be offended sorry if I spelled it wrong anyway I am from Australia but I live in Dubai I have been in Dubai for 2 years now
Honestly they seem like terrible places to live unless you're rich lol... Extreme heat, no trees, not many things to do (unless you really love malls), extremely religious, etc... I would never move there but I guess it's alright for some people or for short stays.
It is different but you learn to live at night in the hot months. You also pretty much have to like urban living and flat desert. I don't have much bad to say about Kuwait but as a WVian it wasn't to my taste. Except the desert highways, when I was there in '03 speed enforcement outside of urban areas was about zero, you could drive as fast as you had the stones to go. Cruising to work at 140 mph (and sometimes getting passed like you were standing still) gets your blood pumping. Not to mention the rush of flying into a dust cloud and hoping it was not hiding a slow moving street sweeper. lol
