"In Hawalli, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. It is considered impolite to show public displays of affection, such as kissing or hugging, as this is not accepted in the local culture. It is also important to dress modestly, as revealing clothing is not appropriate. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local religious customs, such as refraining from eating, drinking, or smoking in public during Ramadan. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local language, and to avoid using profanity or offensive language," remarked another expat in Hawalli, Kuwait.
