women and living in kuwait
-
Hi, I am an American woman and I can tell you that no your wife will not have to wear a covering. She can dress as she normally would but tank tops and shorts are frowned upon. Otherwise skirts at knee length are acceptable as well as capris.
As far as alcohol..there is none. Dubai is a rather different place in regards to alcohol. You might find someone who will sell you something that was smuggled in or home made but it will be way over priced or you will not know exactly what it is. PLUS it's illegal and really not worth the risk. An affordable weekend trip to Dubai or Bahrain is a common thing amongst westerners and is pretty affordable as the airlines always have great specials. This is the best way to have a drink if you like.
Otherwise Kuwait isn't such a bad place to live. It is rather expensive for a family with school aged kids though.adma 14 Jun 2009, 07:30 - Report
