Kuwait is a very safe place, similar to Dubai but more authentic. Kuwait offers a unique cultural mix and interesting insights into a modern society.. 

A conference participant wrote: "I was there on my own for about four days in November 2016, and really enjoyed it! There are some nice little museums, great sixties and seventies urban architecture, and I didn't even have the opportunity to see the Greek ruins on Failaka island. I think that Kuwait is definitely underrated as a tourist destination."
