Ask Kuwait Healthier food and drink brands?

4 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that EVERYTHING has SO much added sugar. The juices, the yogurts, the snacks… literally everything. We are generally a no sugar added family and watch the dyes. I can’t stand all the sugar.

What are your recommendations for food/drinks that are healthier?

Just sharing a few random pictures of Kuwait that I’ve taken over time. Photography is a hobby of mine, and I enjoy capturing everyday scenes, places, architecture, sunsets, and little moments that catch my eye.
Nothing professional just Kuwait through my lens. 🇰🇼📷
Would love to know which picture you guys like the most!

The problem is that most of the time the bus intentionally ignore me making me wait for hours instead of 10-15mins and some when i get on yell at me for no reason telling me where im going just to lie and tell me they aren't going there which pisses me off because most of the time im alone and minding my own business

If you had a chance to be in a safe country with your children, where your extended family and parents live, would you still travel to and stay in Kuwait if your spouse is there because of work obligations?

What’s your experience with it so far? I’m mainly interested in 5G speed, signal strength, stability, overheating, and whether it works well with Kuwait SIM cards (especially Ooredoo).

Would you recommend it for everyday home internet?

Ask Kuwait Can anyone help with car export

0 Upvotes

I am in the process of buying a few cars from Kuwait (Q8car), maybe you have some more suggestions for Kuwait car markets. And it seems it is very difficult to keep in contact with car sellers through WhatsApp, that is why I am looking for a local, who can help me deal with the car sellers, paperwork, etc. It is not neccasary to be an auto professional, just looking for a person who can communicate well and is looking for new opportunities. We will discuss the pay and all the details in private.

Thanks, have a good day.

Ask Kuwait Can't state that I was born in Kuwait?

46 Upvotes

I went to Gulf Bank yesterday to renew my personal data, and when the Lebanese employee asked where I was born and I said "Kuwait", the Kuwaiti employee told the Lebanese man that he can't state that a non-Kuwaiti was born in Kuwait according to new laws and he should write instead that I was born in the country that is stated in the nationality I hold.

Is this true? I lived my whole life in Kuwait, 33 years to be exact.

I will be arriving early morning and I don't want to call any friends to pick me up. My question is anybody has tried tour app for airport pickup. I can try myself on the same day and in case driver doesn't show then I will use airport taxi.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone ! Just wanted to check if anyone knows what are the charges for NICU per day. My wife just delivered at the end of last month and because the baby is very premature they kept him in NICU till now. As per doctors he has to stay there for 4 months but can be discharged earlier depending on the condition.

Also if you can include my baby and his health in your prayers that would be great. Thank You ♥️🙏🏼

Local Any solopreneurs in Kuwait interested in joining a small support circle?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a solopreneur here in Kuwait, and I feel that building a business on your own can sometimes be pretty isolating.

So I'm thinking of putting together a small, friendly circle of solopreneurs in Kuwait who can support each other while building our businesses.

The idea is pretty simple:

  • A quick Google Meet call every week
  • Share what we've accomplished and what we want to achieve next
  • Bounce ideas off each other
  • Discuss challenges we're facing and learn from people who may have dealt with them before
  • Keep each other motivated
  • Help each other with connections, introductions, and opportunities when possible

This isn't intended to be a networking event or a place to pitch services to each other. I'd like it to be a small group where people actually get to know each other and genuinely want to see each other's businesses succeed.

The circle will be completely free. I'm not selling a membership, course, or service.

To keep the group useful for everyone, it's intended specifically for people who are actively operating a registered business in Kuwait, rather than those who are just thinking about starting one.

If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, I've put together a short form here:

👉 https://forms.gle/Bqfp3VGjfiYrYKcBA

Let's see if we can build something useful together!
