Kuwait vs Saudi Arabia living and working
Channel: Anne's daughter
Date: 07/02/2021

Hi travellers,
In this video I consider what it's like living and working in both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.  I have lived and worked in both Kuwait and Riyadh and I discuss safety, cost of living, and the people.

I do caveat my opinions by stating that I lived in Kuwait during the outbreak in 2020 in a suburb that was fenced off for months from the rest of the country.  This impacted my ability to see more of the country and learn.

I love travelling, and this is why I chose to live and work abroad as there is much more see and learn when you living somewhere rather than just passing through as a tourist.  It is such a privilege to call these places my home for a time.  

Both are dry countries

Ultimately I enjoyed Saudi more as there was much more to do and I had more friends with which to share the experience with.  However, had there not been covid, I could have done more in Kuwait.
