US citizens can obtain a visa on arrival in Kuwait. They must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. The visa is valid for a maximum stay of 90 days.
Kuwait is a small, oil-rich country nestling at the top of the Gulf, flanked by large or powerful neighbours - Saudi Arabia to the south, Iraq to the north and Iran to the east.
Kuwaiti cuisine is a rich blend of Arabian, Persian, Indian, and Mediterranean influences, reflecting the country's historical role as a trade hub. Traditional dishes often feature rice, seafood, and meats, with spices like saffron, cardamom, and cinnamon adding depth to the flavors. Machboos, a spiced rice dish with chicken or lamb, is a staple, while seafood dishes highlight the country's coastal heritage. Other popular foods include harees, a wheat and meat porridge, and qouzi, a stuffed lamb dish. Kuwaiti cuisine is known for its hearty, flavorful meals that emphasize communal dining and hospitality.
