Kuwait is one of the safest cities in the Middle East. However, the proximity to conflicts in Iraq makes the place potentially dangerous. You should also be familiar with local laws and traditions and behave respectfully, and wear the appropriate clothing.
Is Kuwait safe for Westerners?
The overall crime rate in Kuwait is low but it is higher in some areas. Some travellers have reported being physically and verbally harassed. Some foreigners have reported being followed at night. Take care if you intend to travel to Jahra, where attackers have used firearms in confrontations.
Is Kuwait City safe for girls?
Yes. While Kuwait is quite different from its other GCC neighbours, travel in Kuwait is completely safe for solo female travellers. I've spent a lot of time in Kuwait, and I have never felt unsafe in any way. The Kuwaiti police are very strict, and violence or crime of any type is not tolerated.
