Hi everyone, DH and I might be moving to Kuwait in the next couple months due to a company transfer. We have been in ME for 7 years but don't really know much about Kuwait well I don't and we have never spoke about it. Is housing easy enough to find? Not sure which area would be best to stay in. No kids with us so don't need to be near a school. Would I be asking too much to want something very modern? Be lots more questions along the way so hope you don't mind answering some of them.:)

Thank you

Karie

Hi Irn Bru, I'm so pleased you have already found out some info- and I'm sure you'll find lots more here on the Forum (and in the Kuwait Guide and FAQ's) now that it's up and working again! I have friends living in nice apartments/villas down the coast in Salwa, Fintas and Egaila- and there's quite alot of new and roomy accommodation- some very close to the sea. You will find some lovely beach clubs too- the Palms and the Hilton are down that way but Kuwait isn't so big so you could also consider the Al Corniche club if you enjoy the beach, pools and gym. The British Ladies Society is also worth joining where you will see friendly faces and find out what's what! When are you moving? All the best with your preparations!
