Day 1 - Touch Down in Kuwait City
As they say, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - or in this case, landing at Kuwait International Airport. Don't worry about jet lag, as our first day will be quite light. From the airport, we will head straight to our hotel and freshen up. Post-check-in, we will hit the streets of the capital, exploring bustling souqs, where you can purchase traditional handicrafts, spices, and fabrics. Finally, we'll enjoy a feast of authentic Kuwaiti dishes, including Machboos and Shawarma, to cap off our first day on a tasty note.
Day 2 - Exploring the Marvels of Kuwait City
Trust me when I say that no trip to Kuwait is complete without a visit to the Kuwait Towers. These iconic landmarks are a testament to modern architectural brilliance while offering panoramic views of the city. Just like a Rubik's cube, Kuwait City is a puzzle of history and heritage. We will then pay a visit to the Grand Mosque. Don't forget to soak in the intricate Islamic designs that adorn the mosque. To round off the day, we'll venture to the Corniche and savor a beautiful sunset along the Gulf.
Day 3 - A Day under the Sea
On Day 3 prepare to delve into an aquatic world like no other. We'll start the day at the Kuwait Scientific Center, known for its exceptional Aquarium.

After the aquatic adventure, it's time for a casual stroll on Gulf Road, grabbing a bite to eat and getting a taste of the local vibe.
Day 4 - Unleashing the Shopaholic in You
Ready your wallets because today's all about shopping! We'll navigate through the intricate labyrinth of the famous Avenues Mall, the largest shopping mall in Kuwait. Tagged as a shopaholic's paradise, it houses hundreds of international brands - from high street to high-end. Later, we'll visit the Souk Al-Mubarakiya, a traditional market where you can buy everything from gold to spices. Shopping in Kuwait is like an intense game of chess - it always keeps you on your toes.
Day 5 - Journeying to Failaka Island
A visit to the enchanting Failaka Island sits on our 5-Day itinerary. Hop onto a ferry to this fascinating island, which served as a site of several historic civilizations. You'll find ruins from Bronze Age settlements and perhaps even feel a tinge of nostalgia from its history echoing through its calm shores. Life is always better at the beach, isn't it?
Day 6 - A Date With the Desert
Today, brace yourself for a thrilling desert safari in the mysterious Arabian desert. An experience akin to a rollercoaster, heart pounding and somewhat chaotic, yet undeniably fun. Evening will see us huddling around a campfire, feasting on grilled kebabs as we gaze at the stars strewn across the sky. Completing this day will sure be like finishing a captivating book; you feel satisfied yet crave for more.
