Salmiya is a coastal city in Kuwait, set along the Arabian Gulf. It is a lively place to spend a day or an evening, with a mix of shopping, dining and time by the sea.
What to see and do
- Shopping districts: Salmiya is known for its shopping areas, where you can browse a wide range of stores at your own pace.
- Restaurants: The city has a good selection of places to eat, so it suits a relaxed meal after a walk or a day of shopping.
- Beach resorts: Resorts along the Gulf coast offer a chance to enjoy the sea and the waterfront.
Planning your visit
Because the city combines its shopping streets with its beachfront, it works well for a visitor who wants both urban activity and a view of the water in the same outing. Plan to move between the shops, the restaurants and the coast, and allow time to take in the Gulf setting that gives the city much of its character.
