Time for a dip.

Interesting question Rib as I have been asking the same for the last couple of years.

Here are some thoughts though:

1. Not recommended to swim anywhere between Kuwait City and Fahaheel - if you've ever taken a walk anywhere on the Gulf Road/Fahaheel, guess you'd figure out why.
2. Good luck in finding a place between Fahaheel and the Saudi border - all 90km of it, meter by meter,  has been built up with private chalets, with no public access to the beach. 
3. What's left is the recent development in Khiran but slowly but surely this is being taken up and fenced off, also ignoring the fact you have a mega power station just 1km away blowing megatons of smoke, and good luck if you happen to be standing downwind with the smoke blowing over and around you

.... but in case you are brave enough to trespass through private chalets on the grounds that the use of the shoreline is  a common resource for the population to use, do watch out for the kind souls riding their jet skis in circles around you oblivious to anyone else

Any other ideas besides hiring a boat and heading off to the islands?

The question is , r u still gonna do it with the awesome weather
Hope u enjoy )

Of course it had to be a muddy rain day today. That's my life.

SportsMan, thanks for the insightful, albeit somewhat depressing info.

Mmm well , you can go to private hotels or clubs like . Corniche club , palms hotel or Hilton in mangaf .. Movenpick u enjoy ur dip and tan day ..
There are some cheap places too here in salmiya , there s ras al ard it s right by the scientific center ...and mmmmmm did I say everything?lol
Have a nice day

Linouly can u provide more info on Ras El Ard?

like, would a single woman be able to enjoy it without being gawked at etc.

merci

Legacy legacy we re in Kuwait single women are tracked everywhere lol
Plus our friend s a guy who needs a dip and tan moment

Hey peeps..

where is Ras Al Ard?
and I am more concerned in having a dip in the real sea rather than in a pool...as for the tan moment.. can have that anywhere in kuwait

Hi sportsman
Ras al ard is in salmiya right before the scientific center I think u pay 2 or 3 kd and u enjoy the sea
And yes we can roast anywhere in Kuwait lol

Linouly i'm asking for a female friend who's not on EB

Lol, well She CAN go and relax in peace ni body Will disturb  her lol

@ ras el ard?

Oui oui legacy @ earth s head lol

What about the beach next to marina crescent? Is it clean? Recommended?
Thks

not @ all Lebexpat

Hey lexpat,

Read my above post. I said that anything from KUWAIT CITY, ALL THE WAY TO FAHAHEEL, is NOT recommended to swim. Because you see people in the water on the weekend and the usual blokes entertaining themselves going round in circles for endless hours, doesn't mean the water is clean. If you choose to swim anywhere there, you do at your own risk.
Suggest you do take a walk anywhere on the gulf road on different days, at different hours, so you will experience different weather patterns and currents, and what it will bring in....  and you will see why.

In any case, good luck

well obviously its not recommended so let's stick to the clubs or khiran as u mentioned anything specific there?

Ras el ard club is 4 families only!
