Kuwait City, Salmiya, Jahra and Wafrah are the main destinations in Kuwait.
Kuwait City - the capital
Jahrah - 30 minutes - A town north of Kuwait City with great historic importance.
Ahmadi- 30 minutes - Many of Kuwait's oil refineries are located here.
Hawalli - 20 minutes - Important residential area
Farwaniyah - 20 minutes - Important port in Kuwait
Mubarak Al Kaber - 25 minutes
Salmiya- 15 minutes - Known for its beaches and host high-end real estate. Inner blocks are residential areas of lower cost.
Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh - 25 minutes - Very cheap housing. Residents are mostly Indian blue-collar and semi-blue collar workers. Poor sanitation and plumbing.
Riggae: A quiet and cleaner alternative to Jleeb.
Wafrah and chalets are common getaways for Kuwaitis and residents. Wafrah (113km away from Kuwait City) is basically farmland. Chalets are beach houses in Khairan and Bnaider, where Kuwaitis enjoy beach culture, yachts and participate in water sport activities like scuba-diving. Most Kuwaitis own chalets although some chalets can be rented. Failaka Island has a diverse climate from the rest of Kuwait. Before the war, Az-Zawr, the town on the island was heavily inhabited but after the war the town was destroyed and very few people live there. There is a heritage hotel there now. Ferries can be taken from Kuwait City and Salmiya.
If on a business trip, there are some sites worth seeing:
Al-Mubarakiya, middle of Kuwait City. Traditional-style Shops, Really need to visit.
Sadu House, middle of Kuwait City. Historic house which turned into a museum.
Bait al-Othman Museum, Hawalli. Museum about Kuwait's history, the museum was established through a historical house of Al Othman family.
Kuwait Scientific Center, Kuwait City. Scientific center, includes IMAX cinema and museum.
Museum of Modern Art, Kuwait City. Art museum housed in a historic pre-oil school, includes preserved classrooms.
Failaka Heritage Village, (take KPTC ferry from Ras Al Salmiya (Ras al Ardh) near scientific center or private speedboat near Marina Mall). A port with many old dhows, Failaka Island can be reached by regular ferry services. 3 KD.
Mina Al Ahmadi. Mina Al Ahmadi, lying 19km (12 miles) south of Kuwait City, is an oil port with immense jetties for supertanker traffic. The Oil Display Center pays homage to the work of the Kuwait Oil Company (Reservations needed)
Kazmah Desert Cliffs, (go on Road 80, turn right to Road 801 to Bubiyan, take first exit and turn left). Being one of the few elevations in the Kuwaiti desert these cliffs allow a good view on the bay if the visibility is good. A lot of young Kuwaitis come here on weekends to challenge their Jeeps and Quads uphill.
