Best places to visit in Kuwait
- Kuwait City: Mosques, markets, museums and more! The capital city of Kuwait is a modern city located directly on the Persian Gulf. Here, you can spend a day at the beach, take in the view from one of the city’s skyscrapers, or tour Kuwait’s Grand Mosque, featuring the tallest minaret in the country. Stop by the Souk Al-Mubarakiya and try your hand at haggling in this traditional bazaar.
- Hawalli: Hawalli is a governorate of Kuwait City and a hub of many cultures. Use your car rental in Kuwait to find lots of shopping and dining opportunities. Be sure to try some machboos, Kuwait’s national dish, while you’re in town! Some favorite attractions include the Bayan Botanical Garden, the Mirror House that is covered with mosaics, and the Bait Al Othman Museum.
- Failaka Island: A ferry ride away from Kuwait City, Failaka Island was deserted during the Gulf War in the 1990s, and most of the buildings remain abandoned. The island is especially interesting to budding archeologists; it has been inhabited since the Bronze Age, and there are several excavation sites located there. Bring a picnic lunch as there are very few shops on the island.
Winter in Kuwait
Kuwait’s winters are cooler, but not too cold to enjoy a stroll through the city to explore the sites. In Kuwait City’s city center, you can have a picnic lunch in Al Shaheed Park, which has an amphitheater, botanical gardens, cycle track and museums. After the park, enjoy panoramic views from the top of one of the Kuwait Towers or the Liberation Tower. Winter is also a great time for a desert safari.

They tried to sell me 3 insurances, I end it up returning the rental the next day because a covid emergency and they didn't return any money back. Ill probably go with another company next time.
