The weather between the months of November and March are absolutely lovely in Kuwait and allow for one to go on long walks. These are some routes I have taken and the sites I found interesting along them:


Mubarakiya: the historic market of Kuwait, here are just some of the sites


Fahad Al Salem: my favorite street in Kuwait, it showcases the urbanization from the 1950s to the present through its buildings


Abdullah Al Salem: along with Fahad Al Salem, it was designed in the 1950s to be one of the “first modern streets in Kuwait”


Abdullah Al Mubarak: another street in Kuwait City that leads towards Mubarakiya


Mubarak Al Kabeer: walking Kuwait can be difficult, but this street is comparatively easier


Sharq: the old maritime quarter of Kuwait City, here and here are two different routes



Gulf Road: there are so many interesting sites along Gulf Road, this walking route is not really fit for one day, but instead one can explore the places along the road over several different days: Al Salam Palace to Al Bahhar Village, National Assembly to Al Seif Staircase, Old Central Bank to Sheikh Khazal Palace


Kuwait City Souqs: often labeled as “brutalist,” you can walk between and visit them


Old Gates: I haven’t walked between the five historic gates from old city wall in a single go, but you conceivably could (although the route will be tricky at times)


Hawally: the part of Kuwait I live in, and so my favorite to explore, I’ve posted walking routes here & here



The Waterfront: there are different points of interest along the way
