Hi
Ahmadi was built in the 40's of last century by British oil companies for their employees in Kuwait. it is one of the finest areas to live at in Kuwait. You would be lucky to live there. However, as far as i know, there are no houses for rent in that area since all houses are owned by Kuwait Oil Company and offered for workers at company only. If your husband works for private company, he would most likely be offered an apartmanet in nearby area like Mahboula, Mangaf or so no. Most westerners live in such areas in big and modern residential complexes. Most of the buildings would have sea view. the allowance they offered you is almost 500KD, which could give you a nice 2-bedroom apartment in one of the complexes. transportation is not a big deal in Kuwait. I am sure the company will offer your husband a car and you can easily get a second car too. Ahmadi, Mahboula, Mangaf, etc are like 30 minutes drive from Kuwait City and no, they are not in the middle of no where.

Thanks Knight.....actually the company my husband is negotiating with is KOC. Is that where you work? It would be nice to live right there by his work...however, an ocean view would be really nice too! :-)

Thanks for your help.

Kathy,

I arrived here just over a week ago to join my husband (who works for KOC and has been here since September). We are currently living in Mahboula in a furnished 3 bed apartment overlooking the gulf until we find our feet and decide where we want to live more permanently. Life here so far is fine, although everything takes an adjustment. Since I'm new here I'm not sure how much help I'll be, but I'll be happy to answer what questions I can as you go through the wonderful joys of relocation! Feel free to email me on limey__yank@hotmail.com
Claire
