Nowadays, the old slogan 'there is little to do in Kuwait' hardly ever applies. There's so many places to go, things to do, markets, food to eat and activities to attend. None of the below are perfect for small children, but when you have visitors coming to Kuwait, you will see destinations.
Kuwait is home to an rising abundance of local bookshops and public libraries. Most provide the adults and children with both Arabic and English books. Below is a list of favorite bookshops by hilitehomes as well as all of Kuwait's public libraries.
Research has shown that one of the most important things a parent can do to help a child understand language, to avoid learning difficulties in school and to ensure academic success is to read them from a young age
In Kuwait there are hundreds of preschools, nurseries, and children's day care centres. Equally varied approaches are available from Montessori, learning by play, Arabic, bilingual, English, French and various curricula.
Below are some of the favourites of Hilitehomes that we or moms recommend to us. The list is not meant to be exhaustive or an endorsement for any particular school.
1. Kuwait May Be Hotter Than Any Other Country
When people think of the Middle East, I am sure they are imagining a vast desert with a scorching sun and to some extent, this is true. Kuwait is made up mostly of the sandy Arabian Desert, with a very small cityscape. I thought I was prepared for the heat after growing up in a tropical city in South Africa but I was still taken by surprise.
Located between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait is one of the least touristic countries in the world. You will come across many foreigners here, but few of them are visiting. Instead, they are Kuwait’s managers, doctors, shop personnel and construction workers. Before the exploitation of oil, this was one of the poorest countries in the world, but the country has developed rapidly over the past 70 years. Kuwaitis today grow up with the fanciest clothes, most expensive cars and travel to Europe at least once a year, but their love for their own traditions and the desert too remains strong. Kuwait is where the modern and the traditional meet. A truly fascinating place, which grows on you the longer you stay.
