To Westerners living or working in Kuwait, how has your experience shaped your view of the country? Is it what you expected? Have you faced racism? Did any stereotypes about Kuwait or the Middle East hold true, or were they challenged? How has living here reshaped your understanding of the region?

As a Kuwaiti woman studying abroad in the UK, I’m genuinely interested to know...

How do you deal with people like that at work ?

I genuinely have never been more confused in my life than now dealing with all of this at work.

Our head of department is a sweet woman who chooses to see the good in everyone but some of my colleagues are demonic narcissistic people in every sense of the word.

Every time this woman is on a leave this group are in charge while she’s gone and she’s gone most of the year.

Just imagine dealing with someone who’s:

  • deliberately trying to provoke you by assigning you to tasks just to find something they think you did wrong, although you did nothing wrong but they’re manipulating you into thinking they’re showing you courtesy by taking it easy on you and showing patience just to gain leverage.

  • Rejecting your leave request for the excuse of you submitting it in such a short notice but then approving it last minute just to stay in your good grace and gain leverage.

  • Assigning you to a training program with a colleague everyone knows you really dislike and never ever with the colleagues you’re friends with.

  • Asking for your suggestions in a group meeting for example, to improve work quality and innovation just to brutally criticize it and make you look clueless and incompetent but then say nice things about you as a person.

  • Always throwing remarks that you’re the sensitive baby of the group who’s always asking for special treatment.

  • Gatekeeping everything you ask them about and play dumb, it’s like they formed a secret alliance.

These are just examples of the many things that went down this year, isn’t this a different level of harassment or I should say abuse ?? It’s not just directed at me, it’s directed from the 30 something year olds to us the 20 year olds. While on a personal level they are very respectful, on a professional level they are a piece of s***.

I’m well aware of it and their motives but it seems I’m picked on the most and I’m tired of putting up with it.

Reporting illegal documents to government

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to report someone which is clearly abusing the visa process? I am sick of Foodie Beauty bragging on YouTube that Salah used Wasta to get there marriage and now she is driving around Kuwait. I can't be the only one sick of this. Now she openly bragged about using wasta to get her marriage done. Like enough is enough of her and her husband abusing the system and bragging about it.

عندي سؤال للكويتيين اللي ما يفضلون الزواج التقليدي بالكويت: شنو الحل برأيكم؟ خصوصًا إذا أنا ما أبي أدخل بالحرام بأي شكل. هل في *middle ground* يناسب ثقافتنا ومجتمعنا؟ شكرًا مقدمًا.

Question for new moms

What do new moms in Kuwait usually do after their maternity leave ends? For those who’ve had a child and went back to full time jobs (especially private sector), what childcare arrangements did you have and for how long?

Zain added Disney+ without permission

Has anyone else faced weird bill increases only to realise they added a service without asking? How can I escalate this? I’m triple checked no one activated it, I’m the only one on the WiFi and I never received an activation message

Depositing in EToro/Sarwa app

Why is it that when I try to wire money to these apps using bank application (gulf bank) I get a 9+ kd transfer fees while my peers who have deposited using the same method keep telling me it cost them 5 kd, I asked both my bank and the customer line in both apps, and no one had any clue, why is it that I’m being charged extra fees? Anyone faces a similar issue?

KSE registration documents required documents

Hey, arrived to Kuwait to start working as an engineer. As a condition to receive my ID card, I must be registered at the KSE, one of the documents required is to have a membership in another naqaba.

My question is:

Is it really a must? I don’t have any other memberships as this is my first time working, all my previous jobs were internships, and didn’t need any similar documents.

If it is a must, which country should I get it from? I was born in country A, lived in country B, studied in country C, and traveled to Kuwait and attested all my documents argue Kuwaiti embassy at country B.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the KSE do not answer when u try to call them.

Delivered package, not actually delivered

Asking for help and directions from you redditors. My order from Ali Express reached the local distributor, GFS Express. I got informed by Ali Express that the package is out for delivery, morning, and evening got notified, also by AliExpress, that package was marked DELIVERED. I got 0 calls or WhatsApp message about the delivery. Getting in touch with GFSExpress customer support was useless, they keep going back and forth, not able to tell me anything about my package whereabouts, just that they will escalate the issue & investigate. Nothing for 2 days... Sooo... Where do I go or who should I contact to file a case against them? If anyone was in a similar situation, how did you solved it? TL;DR My package disappeared with the delivery company, where I can file a complaint against them?

Wrong description in Fatayer Express menu

I found this hilarious in October when I discovered it on Talabat. The funny thing, is that it is still there.

Somehow, there are 2 juices section on the app and 1 of them has this description. They took the Awar Qalb literally😂

High-Speed Internet for Gaming? Mahboula, Mangaf, Fahaheel areas.

Hello! Future Kuwaiti Resident here. I'm moving to Kuwait for work in February, plan to stay there for at least a year. I've been reading mixed posts about high-speed internet in Kuwait. I'll be more than likely living in the southside of Kuwait (Mahboula, Mangaf, or Fahaheel) in an expat area.

I'm a simple guy, as long as I have reliable high-speed internet, and a nice kitchen, I'll be happy, since I mainly keep to myself.

Does anyone have any experience with high-speed internet in those areas? Should I wait for Starlink to arrive in 2025? Is there any update on Starlink in Kuwait?

How is the Real Estate market in Kuwait?

Hey People, little bit off topic but I want know how is the Real Estate market in Kuwait.

I know its much more in UAE where wealthy expats can buy investment property but it's quite different as you barely see any push of Real Estate online or even hear about it(I might be wrong tho)

I am asking this because I used to work as a wholesaler in US Market (btw I am not an US citizen), so I know how the market work, how to proport the funds in order to make a profit etc etc..

Also I love Content Creation so I think I can merge my 2 passions together but before I wanted to ask you guys first, whats the situation here before I take any steps.

Would love to know and meet/ make friends if anyone is in this field....

As always love you all 😘
