Dress for mosque visits
Bring modest, lightweight layers—women should carry a scarf to cover their head when entering prayer areas; men should avoid shorts in mosque buildings.
Beat the heat
Start mid-morning or after late-afternoon prayers to avoid peak sun; the itinerary includes short walks between sites but sun exposure can be significant.
Carry cash for markets
Souq Al-Mubarakiya vendors often prefer small bills for purchases—bring Kuwaiti dinar notes for food, spices and souvenirs.
Photography etiquette
Ask before photographing people and avoid taking pictures inside active prayer areas; some museums and cultural centers restrict flash.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive, breathable shoes are useful for long pavement walks and market browsing.
Reusable water bottle
Hydration is crucial in Kuwait’s climate—many stops have opportunities to refill.
