Salwa, Kuwait
Follows Kuwait Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Living in Salwa means accepting the tradeoffs of being on the Persian Gulf. The area had Kuwait's first zoo, established in 1954 before relocating in 1968. The South African embassy is located here, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache for residents. Overall, Salwa is best suited for those who can tolerate the harsh climate and occasional inconveniences of living on the coast.
