Healthcare Jobs in Kuwait

Are you contemplating the idea of working in Kuwait? The information we've provided here aims to assist you with any questions you may have about living and working in this country.

Just like anywhere else, relocating to a new nation can be a daunting endeavor. Here, we present the advantages and disadvantages of living in Kuwait.

PROS OF LIVING IN KUWAIT:

1. It’s a travel hub: Kuwait’s strategic location means that Dubai and Southeast Asia are readily accessible, making it an ideal launchpad for globetrotters.

There's money to be made!
  • There’s money to be made: The Kuwaiti Dinar is a robust currency, and there is no income tax, making it an attractive destination for expatriates looking to enhance their earnings.
  • It’s a cultural experience: Moving to a different country offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture. While Kuwait has Western influences, it also offers a chance to experience a way of life distinct from your own.
  • Shopping: Kuwait boasts a plethora of shops, from popular UK High Street brands to luxury boutiques, making it a shopper’s paradise.
  • Weather: Kuwait experiences minimal rainfall (less than 20 days a year), and its warm climate is ideal for those who enjoy sunny days. However, the scorching summer temperatures can be challenging.

CONS OF LIVING IN KUWAIT:

  • It’s a little dull: Some expatriates find Kuwait to be somewhat lacking in terms of entertainment and leisure activities. The initial novelty of shopping and dining out may wear off, leading to a sense of boredom.
  • Simple things aren’t quite so simple: Adjusting to the way things are done in a new country can be challenging. Basic tasks like banking and returning faulty products can be time-consuming and frustrating.
  • The roads are a danger-zone: Traffic and road safety can be concerning in Kuwait. Crossing the road and even taking a taxi can be risky experiences.
  • The cost of living is high: While the income potential in Kuwait is attractive, the cost of living is also high, and expatriates often find themselves paying more for products and services.
  • It’s a struggle for eco-warriors: Kuwait may not prioritise environmental concerns to the same extent as other countries. Single-use plastics are prevalent, and recycling facilities are limited, posing challenges for those concerned about eco-friendly living.

It’s important to weigh these pros and cons when considering a move to Kuwait to make an informed decision based on your priorities and preferences.
