Here are the essential safety measures that need to be followed on visiting Kuwait:

• One should understand that the law of Kuwait is conservative. Hence, there are a plethora of banned activities like drinking alcohol or eating pork, cross-dressing, etc. In addition, eating, drinking, smoking or chewing gum in public is also considered an illegal affair. Hence, before entering the country, it is crucial to understand the prevailing laws to avoid legal complications.
• Please note that some street shops and banks do not accept foreign cards. So it is preferable to keep the local currency, the Kuwaiti Dinar while shopping.
• Travelling near the borders of Iraq and Saudi Arabia without any authorisation is illegal.
• Ensure not to withdraw a large amount of cash from an ATM or carry expensive jewellery as this would draw unnecessary attraction, which can be detrimental to the trip.
• As Kuwait has stringent and conservative laws, it is advisable to keep the travelling and civil documents within reach.

In addition to this, getting a travel insurance policy before your trip to Kuwait is necessary as it covers you from unexpected expenses. A travel insurance policy offers coverage for emergency medical bills, expenses involved in cancelling hotels or flights, etc. Hence, purchasing travel insurance from a credible company will keep any unexpected monetary liabilities at bay during your trip.
