In early October of 2019, I had a 48-hour layover in Kuwait immediately following the nearly two weeks I spent in Armenia. To make the most of my limited time here, I linked up with my friend Yousef from Local Tour Kuwait, who spent two days taking me to unique sites and fantastic restaurants in Kuwait City and the surrounding area.
From the spectacular Avenue Mall, to the shocking war damage still present at Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum, to the magnificent Grand Mosque, these two days were a major lesson in Kuwaiti culture and history. I also loved seeing this beautiful, modern city from above from the Viewing Sphere at the Kuwait Towers.

Of course, I couldn’t visit Kuwait without enjoying a ton of local cuisine! The fried liver with onions, peppers, and tomatoes at Saket Ajeeb Restaurant was a highlight right off the bat, but I also couldn’t get enough of the kebabs at Traditional Café Shemaimry, the unbelievable Kuwaiti breakfast at Café Bazza, and the mouthwatering laham mandi at Bait Al Mandi Restaurant.
I swear, I was drooling for most of this trip! The food was so unreal, but what also blew me away was the kindness of the Kuwaiti people. Middle Eastern countries often have a lot of stigmas attached to them in Western countries, but I have to say, everyone I met was lovely, friendly, and warm to me and made me feel welcome.
But enough of me talking about Kuwait. Let me show you what it’s really like in this video documenting my incredible 48 hours in Kuwait!

The view from the Towers....history of the Wars ...the oil and gas info....beautiful malls.... skyscrapers...so much to see in this video. Kuwait seems to have it all. And last but not least their foods looks amazing. Another amazing one of your videos.As always Thanks David and safe journeys.
Loved this! I lived in Kuwait for a year and miss it so much. Thank you for sharing !!
I really like seeing Kuwait It really is great to have you show us . Food is amazing delicious. History of war was step back in time. That had to be traumatic. Museum for the oil was very interesting,. the artisan crafts everything was s beautiful would have to take some home for sure. Really nice guide you have david. To bad he was on diet to not enjoy with you but he was really nice and kind. Grand Mosque was absolutely beautiful . lovely adventure Kuwait is beautiful ♥
Grand Mosque looked incredible!!
No
@@sandersp5713 I thought the interior looked pretty good. It was fast but I liked it - I'm not coming from some religious or ideological perspective - just like interesting architecture.
Loved the Museum tour and of course the food and friendly people of Kuwait!
Hello there David. I'm from Kuwait and it's really interesting to watch Kuwait from a different perspective. I wish you would have went to Al-Salam Palace Museum for a little bit more history. Also, i always recommend for anyone who plans to visit Kuwait to come during January/ February the weather is beautiful and you can enjoy outdoor walks and activities. Hope you enjoyed your trip you are always welcome :)
Nice video mate! I have very fond memories of Kuwait, the country where I lived for more than 12 years. Thank you so much for the video! I really enjoy all your mini documentaries.
Nice tour in Kuwait spectacular views this is the first time I have seen the towers and the public beaches via your important channel ❤
Kodo to you David for beautiful video of Kuwait. Lovely tour and historic sites
I've visited Qatar and Dubai (UAE) before. Would like to visit Kuwait someday (even though they all seem very similar).
As always, watching these videos feels so wonderful to see and learn. From food, to the carpets and customs of the country and the amazing people. Thank you David for bringing the world to my eyes, from your travels❤
David, I traveled from Winnipeg Canada to Egypt a few years back, that was a long flight I can totally understand how tired you are, please catch up on your most rested sleep, you eating all those different food and seeing that amazing bridge ... wow that bridge was amazing, mind blowing, I am so hooked on your channel.

David.loved your blog as always keep them coming.i had lived in Amritsar i can understand your fondness for Amritsari Lassi.
I travel to alot countries nothing like Kuwaiti food and restaurants the restaurants in Kuwait very diversity delisious and clean and they open 24/7
Good morning David: Well, you gave us a documentary that if you asked me to write a precis, like we used to do in English high school classes, then this will take a lot of creative writing but I will try to keep it short. This had so much interesting and historical content. Started off with a dizzying experience in the revolving restaurant. You should visit the CN Tower here in Toronto where we have a revolving restaurant at the top as well. Difference is that you can go out high up tethered and walk around in the open. Everything in the middle east is just massive. It's always a privilege to see the culture, customs (some people, even in one comment here today talking about you not eating with a fork) SMH, and history of the places you visited. I remember desert storm when Saddam Hussein tried to take over their oil wells in Kuwait by setting them on fire. The only way to cap those wells was to drop a depth charge in them, cause an explosion and they seal themselves off, hence no more fires. Growing up in the oilfields, my father was a foreman drilling for oil during TPD days and all through the different companies that came after until he retired. Trinidadians should remember these companies: Tesoro, BP, Petrotrin and a few others in between. All the foods looked so down to earth so I will leave the description to you since you were the one who ate it. Remember hot in hot, (the body cools down faster) and cold in cold, (the body works hard to warm up), that's why your host said that he drinks hot all the time. I felt sorry that he had to watch you eat at times because he was on a diet. When you visited that mosque and the guy explained about the Quran, I literally lost it, because I remembered how some people desecrated and burnt it without any respect to the religion. I loved your host. He seemed really shy at times and when you gave him that hug at the airport and said goodbye, I lost it again. I think you did too. It's always emotional to see someone leave after spending time with him. So, I can write a whole essay on this but this is as far as I will go. David you are doing a fantastic job with these documentaries. Keep it up. Until the next one, I will be watching the rest of the Barbados series and hopefully catch you on the next 'live'. Stay safe, be well and God bless everyone. Until then ciao ❤️🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦 BTW, I love Middle East history.
Well said Judy ❤
@@elizabeth16598ee hi Elizabeth. Can you tell me what you are referring to? Are you referring to the comments on today's documentary? If so, thank you very much. I have been commenting still on the Guyanese series. I don't get it. I hate to say this but I don't know why some of them get so offended by the comments. I had one of them telling me that I am not a Trinidadian when he doesn't know me and denying my heritage. He has since edited his comments. I see that he comes in on the live chat so don't be shocked if I address it during the chat. You will know who it is when I call him out. Don't worry, I will be good about it.❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦 BTW, it's not any of our regulars. Now he answered saying that Guyanese people are put to sit on a special bench at the airport in Trinidad. Now, what does that have to do with what we do here? SMH. I will find and let you read it for yourself. Have a blessed Sunday 🙏❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Elizabeth: go to Guyanese duck curry in Georgetown and look for Sharon Boodoo's comment and read the replies. I sensed that the guy had a problem and he proved me right. SMH. Take care Elizabeth ❤️🙏🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 I always enjoy what you have to say about the videos. I usually do not go down and read all comments what others say. I didnt see comments to what you are talking about how to eat. Just the rest of what you had to say about video here. People that need attention will always try to pick apart other people with out caring or knowing anything. I usually avoid them due to they are just emotional vampires trying to take good energy. And no worries You defend yourself when warranted. Most time they end up putting their foot in their mouth. Peace Blessings Judy .Have a Gooday ♥♥♥
@@elizabeth16598ee thanks Elizabeth. I read other peoples' comments and you are right. I read all of our regulars' comments like yours, Shabana, Ingrid, Devi, Annemarie etc. But sometimes, new people come on and vent. But this is not the place for that because they seem to forget why we are all here. So, no need to read this guy's comments because he doesn't make sense. I just cut him off because he doesn't know when to stop. So have a pleasant day and catch up with you later. By the way, I would have to find a cliff to jump off because I missed 2 'lives' last week 🤣🤣🤣🙏❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
you are amazing!!

Nice Trinidad 🇹🇹 on your office wall
Thanks David for all the videos from diffrent places that you visit and share with us. You mentioned Arabian gulf which is incorrect. It is Persian Gulf, even in google maps written persian gulf. Thanks again. Sima from Australia
Arabian gulf
@@q8fly. in your dreams 😂😂😂
I'm from Miami; Kendall Westchester area. I'm in Orlando now but dang everything is getting so dang expensive 😩 😫. The next depression is coming soon to a city near you.
David the man you are with on your tour is a very simple eater he is enjoying his fish and his friend and that's simply will just make his belly happy very simple person and I think he is adorable. 🇺🇸☮️🥢🍴🍜☕🐠🥄
nice to see Kumait, nice food.
just saying, i especially feel bad when i only seeing you eating and others around you is just watching, 😒 or is it so?
The Kuwait Towers were built in the mid seventies by 1975 and not in 1979. I know because I watched them being built while I was in school. I graduated high school in 1977 by which time the towers had been completed.
David, that was Persian Golf,
Hello, hope u r well!! There is a misconception about the Kuwaiti dinar. 1 Kuwaiti dinar is 12 UAE dirhams but the actual KUWAITI CURRENCY VALUE IS ONLY 20% HIGHER THEN UAE because their currency is not linked to a dollar like use. 1 Kuwaiti dinar is considered to be same as 10 uae dirhams with an 20%. One can buy a can of Pepsi for 200 fils which is like 2 dirhams in uae. More expensive currencies are euro pound Singapore dollar Japanese yen n some other. Great day!!
Hello, if I may ask, what is the name of the Airbnb you stayed in in this trip video?
Hello. I enjoyed watching this video , but I would like to comment on some points in it. The ghutra you wore is a white shmagh just like the red shmagh that Kuwaitis & Saudis wear especially in winter ((moreover we Kuwaitis never wear it in summer . Most Kuwaitis wear a white ghutra made from Voile (which is a light cotton fabric ) that suits the hot weather in the Arab peninsula . The way they made you wear the ghutra is not a Kuwaiti style, this is used in Oman, UAE & Yemen which called emmamah. Maybe your friend and the salesman are not Kuwaitis . The Kuwaiti style is to fold ghutra like a triangle, put it on the head and use eqaal (black head band) to make the ghutra hold on your head. You can google photographs of rulers of Kuwait to see how we wear it just like most Arabs in the GCC.
My second comment is about the traditional Kuwaiti food. The first dish you ate was jereesh ( crushed wheat not lentil) it is cooked in a stew with whole pieces of meat not minced meat, and it is beaten after removing the bones to mix it with the crushed wheat until they become like a purée . So as it is made up of crushed wheat we never eat it with bread.
In addition the bread they served at the restaurant is called tandoor bread , khameer bread (yeast) or Arabic bread, but the younger generations tend to name each type of bread after the baker’s nationality, such as pitta bread as Lebanese bread and tandoor bread as Iranian bread (it is widely spread all over Arab and Islamic countries therefore it is not particular to a certain country).
The second dish was margoog . It is made of vegetables and meat stew with layers of lightly flattened dough. Also you do not eat it with bread, because the dough is (like the bread) a basic ingredient of the dish.
The third dish was not just marag but tashreebah (in some countries they call it thareed).It is an ancient Arabic recipe that was known for more than 1500 years even before Islam . It is made of marag (a stew that is made with meat and vegetables) , then it is added to rugag bread ( a delicate crispy bread that is like wafers) which will absorb the gravy of the stew. Also you do not need to eat it with bread because the bread is a main ingredient in this dish.
Maybe your friend’s English was limited that he could not express himself or correct some misunderstandings just like when you were at the Indian restaurant he told you Chabdah (liver) is meat.
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Kuwait & thank you for this beautiful video
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

How do you manage liver health
David..i can't believe you ask the guy do we eat off the table or they give us plate..hahaha hahaha oh my God...if me and you were personal friends not FB...yoo you are such a D..%...enjoy your stay my brother be safe Yallah...Allah be with you...mashallah-subhanallah...you looking young son..you in Kuwait 🇰🇼 Muslim land,should have kept the goatee to blend in...lol

Kuwaitis don’t wear their gutra like that. That’s more Egyptian style 😂
Iraq tea is the best
Sad state of affairs. Others have to sacrifice their lives in order for others to live in peace.
Thanks, Dear David to creates nice videos. Kuwait is a really nice country with lovely people. you said Arabian Gulf during your video, and with the respect it is wrong. The right name is PERSIAN GULF according to the history and all maps.Thanks
It is but in gulf countries they call it arabian gulf which frankly I don't like cause it erases the history
persian 🤣in your dreem ,it’s The Arabian Gulf countries

There’s no such a thing as Arabian gulf. It’s called Persian gulf and it’ll always be 😊.
Hey David Saw you said Arabian golf but you should know that is Persian Golf forever and nobody can change it so read some history book also don't kiss ass to get free stuff and then think you are smart and don't forget how was your trip in 🇮🇷 IRAN and how they been treated you and hospitality.
Remember Persian Golf
بیناموس طرف چندوقت پیش ایران پیش مستر تستر بود و از واژه درست خلیج فارس استفاده میکرد. به محض اینکه رفت کویت مثل سگ رنگ عوض کرد. این حرررومزاده های آمریکایی و اروپایی ذاتا نامرد و دروغگو و دغل باز و دورو هستن. بخاطر شکم و پول حاضرن کون بدن. در ضمن شماهم اون واژه گالف رو اصلاح کن میخندن.
Gulf نوشته میشه
WTF??? Was you in IRAN with mr taster ha???? there is PERSIAN GULF not fake name (ar.... gulf) men. Do you understand???😡 Mr taster didn't tell you, When you were eating eggplant, kebab and saffron????
Imagine that Cubans refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the gulf of cuba. The naming of the arabian gulf is similar to the way Cubans say the gulf of cuba rather instead of the Gulf of Mexico. As an educated American you don't care what Cubans say because you know it's Gulf of Mexico. Do you get it David?
It's not Arabian Gulf mate.. It's always been Persian Gulf and will remain Presian Gulf.
when u get our oil u can name it whatever u want but at the moment its the arabian gulf poor bastered

Can you stop saying “eating w indian style” aka eating w a barehand, it’s to much for watching this one video and nope, it’s not bcs they’re copying indian how to eat. This is just the way to eat for many country in asia

Everything you show will be so good except your eating style habits. You should follow some basics especially when ur in Muslim countries.
Even the guide who helps you in showing places never tells u about rules of islam.

It’s an insult to eat with a serving spoon and put it back in the dish you have to learn the culture and the custom , you cannot eat with a Serving spoon and put back in the dish.
Hello david ...thank you for sharing your vidio .this food looks delicious
I hope stay connected

Jay Bunker: That "skinny white dude" as you call him is a foodie. What did you expect? He travels around the world to bring us the history, culture and foods of the places he visited. He has a family and children so please show him some modicum of respect.🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 Thankyou Judy ..these people ...they have no class...do they not feel ashamed to do this... these videos are put together eats at intervals. and also it is as you said what he does. Prayers and blessings for being a people person. stay safe. and thanks again.
