The spring season from February to April is pleasant and cool, making it the ideal weather for travel. During this time the desert is draped with petunias. However visitors need to make sure to stay safe from the sand storms.
Off Season:
The hot and humid weather of the summer months from May to September, when the temperatures can reach around 120 degrees Fahrenheit, generally keep the tourists away.
Shoulder Season: The winter months from November to March are cool in the evenings with limited rain and pleasant weather during the day.
The transport system of the city that includes the local buses and intercity buses is well spread, organised and cheap. They operate punctually round the clock making it a convenient means of travel. Taxis are available from the airport to the city and charge a flat rate. Local taxis are also available for going around the city, though they are without meters.
Kuwait International Airport (KWI) is situated approximately 9.5 miles (15.5km) south of Kuwait City. The current building, which houses one terminal for arrivals and departures, handles more than 100 flights per day and 8 million passengers per year. A second terminal, scheduled to open in 2014, is set to increase this figure to 20 million passengers per annum.
Kuwait International does not fare well when compared to other leading Middle Eastern airports such as Dubai or Bahrain. It is notorious for long queues. However, often described as a shopper’s paradise rather than an airport, one need only set foot in its gigantic mall (also known as the Commercial Center) to see where the airport’s real strengths lie. Flooded with natural light that streams through towering glazed windows, the interior of the multi-level Commercial Center is a pleasure to explore. When viewed from the air, its rooftop resembles the vapor trails of jets blasting away from the main terminal building.
