Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality and for being so very interesting! We had such a wonderful time with you... and I will always be so thankful for first trying Loomi at the Diwaniya! We are so happy that you found this video, and we hope to see you again the next time we're in Kuwait! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Amazing video ❤, thank you for keeping our memories.
Khaled, thank you so much for being such a wonderful host 🙏☺️ We saw so much of your amazing country thanks to your incredible hospitality! We are happy that you enjoyed this video & hope you will enjoy the other Kuwaiti vlogs coming in the next few weeks! ~ Mandy 😁😊
ضيافتك و تجوالك معاهم شي يشرفنا كلنا يا سفيرنا ... بيض الله وجهك

This is incredible footage in Kuwait, Thank you so much for filming this, I wished this was filmed in 4K or 8K Resolution Video to see the Details in items
Thank you! We're so pleased you enjoyed this video. In case you haven't seen our other Kuwait videos, here's the playlist:
KUWAIT: czcams.com/play/PLCmNbKU5iMrl8n2AkdrphCFDZk5fNnV_B.html
We understand that it would be better to film in higher resolution, but as we are permanently travelling, that would make files too large for our external hard drives... which is why we film in 1080.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion... we really appreciate it 🙏🤗
one of the most peaceful countries in the world
We definitely found it very safe and friendly.
Hey that's my great grandpa's pharmacy at 2:35
His name was Abdulilah Al-Qenai. He started his training at the British Clinic in 1909 and a few years later became the first pharmacist/doctor to practice modern medicine and surgery in Kuwait. He worked in that office in Mubarakiya up until the late 1930's. By then the government had officially established the Department of Health and he had to close down his practice for health reasons. I never met him but my grandma used to talk about him a lot. As a little kid she worked with him as a sort of pseudo-assistant preparing patients and whatnot.
That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating piece of family history - it's wonderful to hear from people who have a connection and to gain insight into the way of life back then 🙏🤗
Definitely one of your best ever vlogs!
Travel is all about people...and this was a treasure trove of encounters and experiences.
You summed it up beautifully Mandy, local people take you to places that you would never have discovered.
The local game, the food tasting and shared anecdotes. An unforgettable time, I would say.
Thank you so much for such wonderful feedback, Julie! You've summed up exactly what I wanted to share, and I am so happy that you enjoyed this video and that you think so highly of it.
Our whole Kuwaiti experience was made so much more special through having such an awesome Couchsurfing host. Khaled asked us what we wanted to see and do, and gave some excellent suggestions as well. We wouldn't have found half the places we'll be showing in our Kuwaiti videos without him! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Im a kuwaiti girl and really enjoyed your experience in my country,hope u will come again and visit us in winter there are alot of activities you can do... ❤❤❤❤

How wonderful to have a local to meet up with! But everyone seems very helpful and friendly.
Hello Carolina. We were so lucky to have such a wonderful Couchsurfing host! Khaled was keen to show us as much of his amazing country as possible during our 5 days with him, so there will be more videos to come as I want to show everyone just how lovely the Kuwaiti people are! ~ Mandy 😁😊
@@FrugalTravellers We loved you 🙃

Nice video
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed this video. Thank you for your kind words 🙏🤗
Mandy and Lee, thank you for another great and fun video. The Damma game looks intimidating, but it looks like Lee got the hang of it. The tea made from dried limes sounds wonderful. I think Dates from this part of the world are the best! 😋 Khaled is awesome who described different type of dates and sweets well. It looks like Khaled knows everybody in the market. I wonder what the juicy dates cost per kilo?
Hello Sue, and thank you so much for your lovely comment!
We had such a wonderful time at Souk Al-Mubarakiya, and it was brilliant walking around with Khaled, as he wanted us to try everything! I can't believe I didn't make a note of the price of dates... that's not like me 😂🤗 ~ Mandy
Love the video, thanks for showing us a part of our country we haven’t even seen 😂
Our pleasure! We're so pleased you enjoyed this video... and there are more videos of our wonderful stay in Kuwait in this playlist:

I have been working in Kuwait since 10 yearsWhat I like the most about Kuwait is the time the Kuwaiti people have for GodMore time is given to God and therefore abundantly blessed
That is so lovely. They are all good people and deserve to be blessed. 😍
There is good and bad people all around the world. My brother used to live in Kuwait and he told me Kuwaits are very nice and hospitable people. I have not been to many gulf countries other than Saudi Arabia and UAE.God bless you guys
Thanks so much 🙏. We found all the Gulf countries very interesting to visit and the people everywhere were friendly and welcoming to us. 😊. Also the lack of crime and the feeling of safety made it all very comfortable to travel there.
Hi Mandy & Lee,
I personally enjoy more watching you guys in the souq than in them gigantic malls.
It is nice seeing you guys Interacting with the locals as most of them are proud to share their culture with foreigner.
How long did you stay in Kuwait?
Wishing u a lovely weekend 😉
Hello SERGIO! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We're more market people than mall people ourselves, but The Avenues Mall was truly an awesome experience 😁
I'm so pleased you enjoyed our interactions with the locals. Kuwaiti people are so kind and their hospitality is incredible, which is something we really wanted to share with our viewers.
We spent 6 days there, and saw so much thanks to Khaled's wonderful enthusiasm that there are at least 3 more videos to come. Kuwait was so much more amazing than we could ever have imagined, and I really hope we can return in summer to experience those 50C days!
We hope you have a great weekend, and as always, are so appreciative of your kindness and support! ~ Mandy 😁😊
I just love Oud. I wear Oud perfume and burn oud to welcome guests to our home in Australia. It always reminds me of good memories in the Middle East. 🐪🐪🐪
😄 that's nice.
That's so wonderful, Eleanor. I'd never noticed Oud when we lived in Australia, but will keep an eye out for it when we visit in May/June! ~ Mandy 😁😀
I don’t know if you can buy here. I always buy when I’m the Middle East.
Will you be on the east coast of Australia? If so and you wish to see the Newcastle Hunter region we would love to host you.
@@eleanorolsen7445 Thank you for your kind invitation. We'll be in Sydney for 5 days visiting family, then spending 3½ weeks in Perth with my sister and her family. Maybe we can catch up with you the next time we're in Australia, as there's certainly a lot of countries and travel to talk about since we met in 2019! 😀😁 ~ Mandy
@@alsharafalrafia Lovely to hear from you! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Visit to Kuwait.67 walk in sense in markets
It's so great there. ❤️

Brilliant vlog! I really enjoyed it. :)
Thanks so much, Imo! 😊 It's always wonderful to hear such positive feedback from another CZcamsr, and we really appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏😁 ~ Mandy

I think a lot of people in the Gulf region prefer Sukkari dates.. hope you had the chance to try them
We tried so many, We lost track of all the types. There were so many incredibly delicious ones. 😋
Salem dears, I'd like to share a tip. When preparing tomato sauce put a spoon of dates molasses it cuts the acidity and gives a sweet note to the sauce. It is healthy and nutritious. Love and blessings from Algeria.
That is such a brilliant tip, thank you 🙏😃
It feels weird watching this video because I live in Kuwait for over 10 years…
We hope you enjoyed seeing this video.
Amazing video. Would you be able to recommend where should I stay with my husband and 11 years old daughter? We are traveling this April. We want to celebrate Eid in there.😊
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We stayed with a very kind host through Couchsurfing, otherwise we would have found somewhere on Booking dot com. We hope you have a wonderful time in April.
I’m thinking about moving to Kuwait.
We enjoyed our time there.
Were the people freindly?@@FrugalTravellers
Arabs are the most generous, if you go to England they might give you a toast with butter and jam .
In England you'd definitely be offered a cup of tea 😃😊
More on transport

Thank you. We had an amazing time in Kuwait 🙏🤗
How many times do you want to say “Wow” during your videos
Well spotted! I tend to get very enthusiastic about things, so the wows just keep slipping out 😀😁 ~ Mandy

Thanks for showing this Video. What is the name of the game you are playing (around Minute 8).
I'm pretty sure we mention it in the video, and that a few people mention it in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to write.
What an incredible place!
Never had a sweet based in rose water before. Would love to try it.
A date souk! Who knew? 🤷
M&L-Looks like you were struggling to try all those dates you were offered. 😅 Other than the texture, did you find the sweetness also varied among the different types? Curious as my taste for sweets appears to be diminishing with age.
Thanks for another great video. Cheers. 🥂
Hello lucchese20! Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment! We had such an amazing time at this souk... there was so much more to show but I had to be ruthless with my editing otherwise the video would have been twice as long 😜🤣
I must confess that I didn't actually like dates at the time... my love for dates started in Saudi Arabia. Lee loves dates though and was very pleased to take any that I couldn't eat 😊😁
I've asked him and yes, the different types of dates varied in terms of texture and sweetness, and he preferred the ones oozing with date syrup.
Thanks again for taking the time to watch this video and for commenting. We appreciate your kindness and support! ~ Mandy 🙏😁
@@FrugalTravellers Thanks M&L for your quick reply. Always appreciate your great work and sharing your around the world experiences. 🌍
@@lucchese20 Yayyy... I love our mutual appreciation group! 😁😀 ~ Mandy
Several types of dates will be sent to you as a gift from Kuwait wherever you are, to taste it as you like 🙂, just find a way to send your address to me or to the frugal travellers.
Please accept my present.
And we welcome you to Kuwait as well.

Dana is a bit like Checkers and Chess
Hello Warlord Mo25 and welcome to our channel! It was such a fascinating game and I wish we could have grasped the rules a bit quicker. It was such a wonderful experience though to visit this Dama centre! ~ Mandy 😁😊
@@FrugalTravellers The rules of the game is fairly simple exactly like Chess and Checkers but with blocks or cubes however you would want to describe it, very popular in the old cities across the Arab world.
Happy Trailing - Thanks Mandy & Lee
Do the buses run 24 hours?
I'm not sure, so I would recommend that you check the bus company website, or use Google Maps, which is what we did.
I work here as an overseas contractor (more than 2 years living here) and I am here to personally say they are definitely rude and entitled. They will be nice to you where they know they have to see tourists… . Even then it’s iffy
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Our experiences can be seen in our Kuwait videos:

try to change your circle there is good and bad everywhere
Most of them are rude especially to household workers
not ture
@@user-zz1qn4xy8g it’s true… are you watching news? Especially to Household workers they are physically emotionally tortured and sometimes they kill they’re household workers.. Itsva devils act
We show what we experienced and saw.
I worked in Kuwait as a teacher at the ministry of education for 24 years . At my voluntary resignation I got shocked when the ministry took almost half of my pension 4256 KD ( 14000 $) under the name of indebtness which I knew nothing about . And when I made a written complaint they refused it verbally on the telephone .
I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience, Ahmed. ~ Mandy
This is not the place where you try to tarnish the reputation of a country, there are work agreements for those who come from abroad. If you are honest, you'd go to court, not CZcams comments. But some people ungrateful.
