We spent 2 days in Kuwait City, capital of Kuwait. It was the first time I visited this country and I was really curious and excited to explore its capital city.
It was definitely not what we expected! Join us in this walking tour and THANKS FOR WATCHING!
KUWAIT was my country number 69!

Every country has streets or places that need reconstruction. I live in the USA and we have luxurious communities and underserved communities. Anyway, I do not care how Kuwait looks. The people are nice and it’s safe! I choose that over any “luxurious lifestyle”. The West has far more problems than a few messed-up roads🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. This video was not classy and showed the narrowness of your thinking, sir.
Appreciate your point of view, however if you watched the whole video you would have understood that my overall opinion of Kuwait was positive. In any case, freedom of speech!😉
I’m a local and am really gutted that you haven’t seen the real kuwait and enjoy the food and culture, the time was definitely mingin, there are lots of places that you would have visited and enjoy, anyhow if you consider visiting again just let me know, i’ll be more than happy to be your tour guide.
To be honest I haven’t realised it was Ramadan and it was a bit surreal walking the streets while everything was shut. Thanks for the offer to be my tour guide, i would love that if i come back!👍
I just saw this video randomly and have a perfect winter recommendation if you're into cars which is Kuwait Motor Town and im a local and would love to show you around it
That would be great if I come back in winter time
@@whereisgabri3641 Of course, I'll be happy to show you around it and give you access to the pit boxes and see the cars up close
The 19th province..
Why didnt you go to the avenues mall it is the biggest mall in kuwait and one of the biggest malls in the worlds and it is very modern.
Really short time, stayed just 24h. A good reason to come back for sure
Its the arabian gulf , maybe the streets are not cared of , at least Kuwait is considered one the safest countries.
Hi gabri, i think the video which you made ,shows the reality, i was in kuwait 3 times in the last 10 months,Kuwait ranks second after Qatar among GCC countries in terms of money and wealth,I've been all over this beautiful city,There are really great parts of the city or mall centers or streets that look really great and there are streets or residential areas or other things that are brutally neglected,but you were in the holy month of ramazan, during that time i could have recommended kuwait or other countries on the gulf to you.The city of Kuwait presented a project development plan (2018-2040)but there are just obstacles, but i'm sure this problem will be solved, after that there will be no such criticism from tourists.
Ramadan definitely had a huge impact on our experience and I will definitely come back to explore the country when it is fully operational. Thanks for watching!😊
The places where you were traveling do not have any Kuwaiti citizen, but all of them come to the places where Kuwaiti citizens are located are beautiful and clean and they do not ride buses either. Thank you.
Good to know! It means i should come back to Kuwait to see how the real Kuwaiti citizen live.
Oh my, that lovely piece of jewelry in the shop window.
"Will you wear it?"
"Will you buy it?"
^^
This made my day 😀
😅i haven’t bought in the end
Kuwait is hot in summer and in ramadan everything close in the morning and open at nights so u visit at a wrong time u should cisit in winter its great .. also no body use buses there because its almost the cheapest country for Gas and Petrol so everybody uses the Cars as the main transportion method u could rent a car and also u didnt visit the best places in kuwait 360 mall avenuse mall murooj and al shaheed park JACC etc .. the best time to visit kuwait is at Feb and January
Spot on! I should revisit when everything is open and will definitely venture outside of the capital city as well👍
If you dare drive the roads lol. I've been living here 5 years and fear driving. Citybus has a schedule on line. So does google maps. The taxis are not that expensive. If you can find a wanit (pickup trucks that are taxi services) it's even cheaper. I see you went to the mall in Sharq in the neighborhood you were staying. Check out the souks nearby especially where you got off the bus in Maliya. Also check out Avenues mall -- they have buses going there too.
@@jimgorycki4013 thanks for the recommendations- i want definitely come back and experience the city full of life
It’s ever where in the world not only Kuwait !!!
My first time in Kuwait, country number 69! I explore its capital, Kuwait City during Ramadan…quite a unique experience! Join us in this exploration and as always..Thanks for watching! 🇰🇼
It’s ramadan what did u expect? Respect the laws😂
I live in Kuwait kuwait is very nice I speak Arabic
Sadly you only went to this area! Hopefully next time you can experience more of Kuwait (And definitely not in Ramadan) and better areas!! Still, thanks for visiting my country:)
Definitely! I love Middle East and I will give Kuwait a second chance:)
you like tourists?
That was great
Bello!❤ sempre molto coinvolgente
I hope you enjoyed ur stay !✨
But for kuwait you really need a local to see its amazing beauty and next time I would recommend for you to go in February the weather is beautiful everything is open and the people are so friendly ,you’ll probably see a few rude people but don’t worry there just fasting and so hungry 😅.
Places i would recommend:
.The avenues mall
.Kuwait towers
.The scientific center
Marina hotel or the four seasons for a fantastic hotel
But compared to other cities in the region and Kuwait's neighbors, Kuwait has low infrastructure
Dubai has a metro, Doha has a metro and Riyadh will be opened in a few months, but despite the heavy traffic, Kuwait has not yet thought of building a metro.
The asphalt conditions of its streets are also very bad
Despite being rich in oil, Kuwait should be doing better
Thanks a lot for the recommendations. I was so hungry while walking the whole day so thats why I was a bit grumpy😅But definitely Kuwait deserves another chance!
@@living_peace Kuwait doesn't even have a decent airport, let alone a Metro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Visit us in winter❤ what are u doing Kuwait in Ramadan !
Will do for sure!
👃A nice trip in Kuwait City ❤❤❤👌🙏
Maaaan, this would be the worst time for someone visit kuwait 🤣🤣 it was Ramadan and basically the whole country almost closed from sunrise to sunset
We have a saying in Arabic "يا غريب كن أديب" which means “oh stranger, be polite”. So basically don’t judge a whole country based on one street, and if you’re that upset just leave. 👍🏼
probably my experience was heavily influenced by the fact that most of the places were closed due to Ramadan. I’ll give Kuwait another chance for sure 😉
@@whereisgabri3641 no need for another chance because no one cares about your opinion
@@user-pv2kc4um8k rabbit hidden behind a keyboard. Go to bed 👋
YES IT,S RAMADAN
Sempre super professionale 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yalaa go kuwait
هذا طيح حظ الكويت 😮
Nice shirt. Where did you get them? :)
Ahah custom made in Italy. You want one too?😉
@@whereisgabri3641 thats fancy. I dont think i can afford a custom msde shirt from Italy tho. Haha. I used go live and work in kuwait for a bit yeats ago. Your video reminded me of my short but sweet stay there. Haha. :)
@@cliefivanlope2719 my stay was very short too and definitely unique ahah
Great work hope to collaborate with you on UA-cam one day ❤❤Namibia 🇳🇦 🎉
Want to visit your country so much!
Dude why did you come during Ramadan 😂, everything is shut
Come in January or February, the weather is great (15-20 C), restaurants are amazing, the malls are the best in the world in Kuwait
Sideways, these are well developed in few places in Kuwait where people actually walk (seaside), other places might not be that developed because people in general avoid walking outdoors because of the heat
Thanks 🙏 for your nice ❤ video
Lol u went for the least places that Kuwaiti go to u should ask a Kuwaiti next time so he show u the real Kuwait where we actually live not the foreigners
Yeah probably lol but i just had very limited time. Wanna come back and explore properly
🇰🇼⚘
طالع شيقول العن ام طياحة الحظ كله من هالحكومات التعبانة
Please be polite, not every side walk is going to be perfect and it was Ramadan !
Dont get me wrong-my overall experience was good. Will come back in a different period for sure
العن ابو الفشلة😂😂
You chose the wrong time, and you didn't discover Kuwait. Generally, you don't give a bad impression. Thank you
Agree with you. Will need to come back and discover it without Ramadan
YOu tell me - what did he say that is wrong or untrue??? You have gone to other cities abroad, like all the kuwaities do 18 times a year, and you know what other cities look like? Won't you like Kuwait to work and function like that, with a decent airport.. maybe a good transit system.. proper pavements.. no trash on the roads or being thrown out of car (Mercedes/Porche SUV's/Huge Jeeps or Hummers) windows/in front of Starbucks .. other drivers that don't try to run you down? Is it too much to dream of for such a beautiful country. Thank YOU in return!
تكفا من صجك انت
طالع الخياس و الشوارع المكسرة وقفت على رمضان السالفة؟
Awesome video Gabri 🤩Happy that you survived 😅
😅what a challenge! Thanks for watching!
What is the cost of living in Kuwait?
Was there for a couple of days only. Accommodation-i paid around 80£/night. Food is quite cheap pretty much everywhere except for a cappuccino in a shopping mall at 8£!
@@whereisgabri3641
الطعام في الكويت هو الارخص و الاجود
لقد ذهبت الى مدن كثيرة لم ارى مثل جودة الطعام في الكويت
If you came back visit the Avenues mall. Also, In Ramadan people go out in the night 12 am be like 3 pm in non Ramadan day. You really did not see the real Kuwait yet. First impressions can be deceiving. Kuwait has a lot to offer TBH.
Of course my time was limited and these were just first impressions. Will come back and explore more for sure👍
1- you went in Ramadan
2- you went to the most crowded place
3- you didn’t even explore
4- do you know how hot it is there bro it’s the hottest country in the world
Don’t get me wrong-i liked the experience overall and people were very kind. Will come back for sure
I remember when I visited New York there were piles of garbage bag. Stinky streets and rats everywhere. BTW do visit Pakistan
Yeah me too. NYC its pretty dirty. Will visit Pakistan soon hopefully 🤞🏻
Well Said, but in NYC the trash is picked up daily. Why don't you want to compare kuwait to Switzerland, or Dubai, or Singapore, rather than Pakistan? Go Figure. Kuwait has got such incredible potential, but it is wasted year .. after year.. decade after decade.
You’re lucky the police didn’t catch you eating or drinking during the daytime in public during Ramadan in Kuwait. Been in Kuwait for 6 months it’s a really beautiful country but it’s very conservative!
I was starving so much and I couldn’t wait for the sunset to come! Short but interesting visit for sure!
It's an Islamic country and it's Ramadan just be mindful to others. You're not special nor needed like that. Police should've caught you and brought you directly to the airport
++ very abusive country that neglects the violates human rights.
shukala
That shopping center is called " Al Assima Mall " it's not called "The Mall".. too many wrong information in this video , check the info before posting dude....🙃
Great job ❤!
Grazie Luca!
i wish we had better streets and sidewalks its a struggle for us too😢
Right, but i had great time in your country anyway😊
In Ramadan time better to not travel in any Islamic countries. Also it’s too dirty not like Dubai clean.
Yes i learnt it in Kuwait! Anyway I would like to go back to both Kuwait and Dubai
There is nothing dirtier, impure, or black Indian
يالهي كم اشعر بالاحباط من تغطيتك لبلدي😢
😂😂😂
avevo visto delle storie di una ragazza che era a Kuwait city durante il periodo del ramadan e diceva che sono uno Stato molto conservatore e quindi, anche come turista, se infrangi le regole del ramadan puoi rischiare una multa o anche peggio. Quindi capisco il fatto di averti fatto bere il cappuccino in bagno 😂
Detto ciò, bel video. Due giorni penso siano sufficienti hahah
Il fatto di essere arrivato proprio il primo giorno di Ramadan non ha di certo contribuito a creare un’atmosfera molto coinvolgente dato che era tutto chiuso. Comunque bello passeggiare ed essere l’unico turista in giro😅
Don’t insult the land that’s disgusting
I say whatever I want👍
Punctuation is very important here and one comma "," can make a big difference.
- Don't insult the land that's disgusting. Do not insult this disgusting land. I'm sure Kuwait is not disgusting 😞
- Don't insult the land, that's disgusting. To insult this land is disgusting. Sounds better. 🙂
I'm sure you meant to include a comma after 'land'.
Wrong timing and wrong place even if its the capital doesn’t mean its a nice place
Probably wrong timing but I liked Kuwait city overall. I always find “non touristic” places fascinating
It's really sad that you're visiting my country and you're complaining and didn't enjoy your visit
He didn't discover anything just a small area in Kuwait City and kept complaining over and over, he should been visiting the right places at the right times haha what an idiot, traveling to a country without doing his research first...and, during Ramadan really? lol
Mohammad -peace and blessing be upon him - said in a authentic hadith that from his umma ( muslim nation) one of the smaller signs of the end of times will be : that the 🦶 barefoot beduins (look the barefoot family picture of the now so called Oil Sheiks 50 years ago) will compete in the building of highest buildings. Subhanallah ❤ look to the rich Arab Nations today, Allah granted those beduins of the past with black gold, and each other competing in higher and more higher buildings. The world 🌎 and Mankind is beautiful because we are different; this is a Blessing of the Almighty and a point for us to reflect and not to copy everything of the west 😢😢😢
❤❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kuwait needs to ask this guy reason he is talking about the city in bad way side only
@@mudiali719 have you watched the entire video? I liked Kuwait overall even if everything was closed
Never travel on festive season in any country
Very true!
stay in your country mr perfect
Sorry to disappoint you.I go wherever I want😉
@@whereisgabri3641 Go but respect other nations
Behind all the wealth they have there are still uneducated evil people living there, that dont like to be in a camera. I don't want to spill any info but its for the people who can read this how evil people living there. A simple picture can kill you there if you are a poor, naive not knowing their stuoid culture. And their claiming theyre Muslim. A lot of gays are living there too. Peace be upon you! Let karma avenge for those victim of abuse.
The people of Kuwait country is terrible and abusive, especially to the domestic helper. The place is good but the people out there are terrible. They are not friendly at all compared to other Middle East nations.
Be polite ..
Otherwise..?
@@whereisgabri3641 I am not surprised by this response from a rude person😊
@@zoozashka9924 rude person? I shared my first experience of your country, and this was absolutely NOT great. If you never heard of a principle called “freedom of speech”, i am really sorry for you. 😉
@@whereisgabri3641 freedom of speech ok. But not the way u speake about any country ..
@@whereisgabri3641 by the way u should accept my opinion that u're rude .. " freedom of speech " 😂
It’s ever where in the world not only Kuwait !!!
