The city's location along the coast offers beautiful views and opportunities for beach activities. Additionally, Salmiya is known for its safety and cleanliness, making it a comfortable place to live.

Traffic congestion is a common issue, and public transportation options are limited. The cost of living can be high, particularly for housing and imported goods. Some expats may also find it difficult to adjust to the conservative culture and strict laws, such as the ban on alcohol and strict dress codes for women. Finally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak Arabic, although English is widely spoken in the city," remarked another expat who made the move to Salmiya, Kuwait.
