Hi all,

I just posted in another thread with spouse visa concerns so hopefully somebody will reply soon.

My husband has been offered a job in Kuwait so we may be moving in the next 4 weeks.

So far all we know is that he is being offered 2000 KD. As of now were not sure whether this is all inclusive or if accommodation etc is provided on top. We'll get more information on the offer in the coming week. I can only imagine accommodation will be provided till my husband gets his visa and then we will need to find a place.

Anyway his office is in Safat so were looking for a 2 bedroom apartment close-by with a budget of 340 KD. Is this realistic and what sort of areas should we be looking at?

What is hawally and Al Dasma like?

Thanks all :)

Dasman is a god place near sea side.i think you can find accommodation in that budget.
i have found a location in 350KD,but i doubt it would be vacant. here is the link

you will find a good accommodation in hawalli but there is too much traffic there,specially on weekends and evenings.
