About Kuwait

Kuwait is a small country on the northern tip of the Arabian Gulf, known for its hospitality, its rich pearl-diving and trading heritage and its modern, comfortable cities. It is a quieter, more traditional alternative to some of its flashier Gulf neighbours, and it rewards visitors who enjoy culture, food, shopping and relaxed seafront evenings.

In one trip you can go up the Kuwait Towers for views over the Gulf, visit the Grand Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the country, wander the lanes of Souq Al-Mubarakiya for spices, sweets and traditional crafts and spend a day on Failaka Island, which has ancient ruins and a quiet beach feel. Museums, art spaces and the waterfront promenade add to a well-rounded city break.

For Pakistani travellers, Kuwait feels comfortable and familiar. It is a Muslim-majority country, halal food is the standard, mosques are everywhere and Urdu is widely understood because of the large Pakistani community. This makes everyday travel easy for families and groups.

The classic route covers Kuwait City, Kuwait Towers, the Grand Mosque, Souq Al-Mubarakiya and Failaka Island. SaffarGuru takes care of flights, hotels, private transport and sightseeing, and guides you through entry requirements, so you can enjoy a stress-free trip. Every package can be tailored to your dates, budget and group size.
