Circle
New in Kuwait? Meet other newcomers
Kuwait is home to people from all over the world, and many arrive every month for work or study. This circle is for people in their first year or two who want to explore the country with others who are also starting fresh.
Where people do this in Kuwait City
- Easy, busy places to meet, such as the Avenues and other big malls, and the Gulf Road in Kuwait City.
- Souq Al Mubarakiya in the heart of Kuwait City, for old-town atmosphere and a first walk around.
- Evening walks at Al Shaheed Park and along the Corniche near Kuwait Towers.
How to find your people
- Say that you’re new. Most people remember that feeling and respond warmly.
- Pick one weekly habit, such as a class, a walk or a volunteering shift, so you see the same faces.
- Keep first plans short and close to the Metro so they’re easy to say yes to.
First plans for two
- An evening walk in Al Shaheed Park
- A stroll through Souq Al Mubarakiya and tea afterwards
- A visit to the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre with a small group
Good to know
The cool season, roughly November to March, is the outdoor season in Kuwait: evenings by the sea, walks and desert trips are at their best. Check official channels for event dates and tickets.
How the New in Kuwait circle works
Members of this circle start plans that anyone in the circle can join, like a game, a walk or a coffee, and answer one quick question a week. Plans are always in public places and arranged by members. Friendship only, for grown-ups 18 and over.
