What should I pack when moving to Kuwait City?

"When moving to Kuwait City, you should pack lightweight and modest clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, loose pants, and skirts or dresses that cover the knees. It is also essential to bring a few conservative outfits for visiting religious sites or attending formal events. Don't forget to pack a light jacket or shawl for cooler evenings and air-conditioned spaces. Make sure to bring comfortable and breathable shoes for walking, as well as a pair of sandals or flip-flops for the beach. You should also pack a swimsuit, but choose a modest one to respect local customs. Sun protection is crucial in Kuwait, so pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high-SPF sunscreen. You may also want to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the hot climate. Bring all necessary toiletries, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. It's also a good idea to pack a small first aid kit with basic medications, such as pain relievers, allergy medicine, and any prescription medications you may need. Pack essential electronics, such as your smartphone, laptop, and chargers. Don't forget to bring a power adapter, as Kuwait uses a different type of electrical outlet than many other countries. Bring important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary medical records. It's also a good idea to have photocopies of these documents in case of loss or theft. Lastly, pack a few personal items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as family photos, a favorite book, or a small keepsake," remarked another expat in Kuwait City, Kuwait.

"Wish I'd brought: Towels; American music and dvds; more pics of family, friends. Wish I'd left home: Clothes, cosmetics, medical supplies. (ALL are cheaper and better quality here)," said a member in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
