SHOPPING IN KUWAIT
Kuwait is a shopper's paradise for both food and
consumer goods. Because of the wealth in Kuwait, you will find upscale
shops for everything from electronics and clothes to a wide variety of
food. Kuwait has numerous shopping malls as well as a great variety of
individual shops. You will also find shopping areas or "souks" in which
there are many shops offering the same type goods in competition with each
other. For example there is a "plant souk", a "fabric souk, "computer souks",
"fish souk"...you get the picture. Another interesting place to shop is
the "Friday Market". It is huge outdoor bazaar held on Fridays (Isamic
Holy day). There you can get household items, clothes, carpets, appliances,
you-name-it. Besides new wares, there is also a huge "garage sale" area
there where you can pick up good bargains.
