What do I need to know before moving to Salmiya?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Salmiya, they said...
"Salmiya is a popular residential area in Kuwait, and is known for its vibrant nightlife and shopping. Expats should be aware that Kuwait is a Muslim country, and that certain laws and customs should be respected. Expats should also be aware that Kuwait is a dry country, and alcohol is not available for purchase. Additionally, expats should be aware that Kuwait is a conservative country, and modest dress is expected in public. Expats should also be aware that Kuwait has a hot and humid climate, and should be prepared for the heat. Finally, expats should be aware that English is widely spoken in Salmiya, and that there are many expat-friendly services and amenities available," commented one expat who made the move to Salmiya, Kuwait.
