After spending time in the city we decided to venture out of town, which was a very different experience! First we explored Mutla Ridge, before we turned around, and headed south of Kuwait City, in the direction of the Saudi Arabian border. Passing huge mansions, even huger oil refineries, someone selling balloons in the middle of the desert…until we made it to what must be the most remote coffee shop I have ever come across. One small building with a Starbucks like place, and a tiny shop, a mosque nearby, and plenty of cars scattered all around. Another fascinating thing are the camping sites. People go camping in the desert. Maybe it’s me, but I’ve never encountered that before. Unless you include beduin camps, that is. Apparently you avoid some parts of the year due to scorpions… All in all, a great day out!
We hired my friend’s driver to take us around. Perfect!
Hmm camping in the desert sounded marvellous until the mention of scorpions….quad biking sounds super though!
Yes, scorpions put me off as well 🙂 Quad biking very cool!
Haha maybe I was wrong, Norway and Kuwait might not be that different from each other. I mean, we totally have the oil too and you can go camping here anywhere 😀
Had forgotten about the Kuwait oil 🙂
I’d love to try quad biking one day. Seems like it would be a lot of fun!
I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I was gonna. Wanna do it again!
Your pics are very nice!
Thank you 🙂
Never thought about going to kuwait although i’m obsessed with the middle east. Gotta do some research now 🙂
I liked it! Hope you find time for a visit.
