Worked in Kuwait late 98 to mid 99 on a private construction project. Found the time and area as pleasant...current company chasing other opportunties there and I have been tapped to be involved. Was wondering what the current situation is regarding personal security for me and any associates due to tarvel and stay for weeks at a time.

Like many others on this forum, I also did not find the US Embassy helpful at all. I will also be talking to some friends on the ground for their take. Let me know and thanks in advance.

Current situation in Kuwait regarding security is better than 1998 and 1999. Dont listen to the precautions and travel warnings by the Embassy cause they are not true. I mean westerners are not targetted in streets and all what happened last year were individual incidents. You can come and work.

David, current climate in respect of safety is calm. Embassy advice is always cautious. However, in my interperation, acting as a Warden for the British Embassy, follow their guidelines, and keep alert in case. This is, as I am sure you are already aware, worthy of mention when on the roads.
I am enjoying Kuwait a lot, its just hard in the beginning when you try and get to know people. Diving and Darts are worth inquiring about for meeting others. Aside from that Teachers are most difficult to meet, I've found.
Good luck! Nigel
