Why that particular title?
I was reading the morning paper in Kuwait and it had an article about the future of Kuwait keeping up with places like Dubai and Doha.
I know Kuwait is a long way from similar status to Dubai, but at least they are considering the future.
Because it was 115 F in the day.
I found the city streets to be desolate during the day.
- Pros:A modern city with a lot of growth.
- Cons:Very expensive and not a lot to do------yet!
- In a nutshell:Kuwait is a very friendly place!

Kuwait is very expensive and there is no such thing as budget lodging. I normally do not splurge when it comes to hotels... more travel advice

The Hard Rock is just average in my opinion. People go there for the merchandise more than the food. I have been to over... more travel advice

Hi again- this time reading as Ive been asked to escort a patient back there and will get put up in a 5 star -hope its yr Le Meridien!so need a fast read up on how things are there for me for 24 hours!
Looks like a nice place for a short stop-over. I never realized it was that expensive.
Fascinating but not a place I will be visiting; i.e. heat and expense.
Beautiful photos of Kuwait! The hotel looks fantastic, what a room! I wouldn't mind staying there, although I don't think my travel budget would agree with me about that ;-)
Nice pictures and tips of Kuwait! Kuwait is one of the country that i would like to visited. My old friend lived in Kuwait and my husband love to visit the Hard Rock.
Looks like your splurge hotel was worth the money. Thanks.
Lovely slogan: love all, serve all. The pillows look larger than the bed!
Amazing place! Not really my cup of tea, so thank you for sharing your's!
Thanks for the welcome. Kuwait has a long way to go towards Dubai status, still waiting for the Budweiser girls to show up here. The Palms Hotel has everything you need for as good of a stay as you can have in Kuwait... beach front and near to the city.
As long as it reamins dry, probably not, at least not in terms of international tourism. Doha is making a big effort to emulate Dubai.
