Hi,

I will be moving to kuwait in the month of Aug'14. The company doesn't provide me accomodation. Is there any service apartment i can book to stay initially for 1 month at a moderate price near to my office. My office is in gulf street. Also can someone guide me how much will be the rent for 2 bedroom apartment. Is there any public transport system available in kuwait. Is it safe to travel in public transport system ? How much insurance will cost me for a family of 3 members. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Satheesh

there are plenty of service apartments in bneid al gar area; they are also called hotels or furnished apartments. google them and start finding empty spots.

rent for a 2 bedroom is now anywhere from 300-400, but you will have to check the sizes being offered (all mostly small).

public transport is available, use at your own risk.
