Is it me or is Kuwait getting a lot of Overlanding tourists this year? Back in September, I posted about Petra, the German lady traveling around the world in her huge MAN KAT 8×8 but I keep spotting other visiting overlanders parked on the Gulf Road or mall parking lots. Yesterday one tourist overlander posted a photo showing three other overlanders parked near him. It seems they all use the app iOverlander which has a list of safe to camp spots in Kuwait and around the world which is how they all end up parked in the same spots.
Speaking of places to park, all the Gulf Road parking lots are starting to look like RV campgrounds with lots of motorhomes (not overlanders) parked each taking up multiple parking spots. We clearly don’t seem to have any regulation against this and you know what that means, eventually they’ll just ban motorhomes so they don’t have to deal with it.
Anyway back to the subject, currently, there are at least 4 overlanders passing through Kuwait, @aufaufunddavon_, @the_travely, @busleven and @defendter_. It’s really interesting checking their accounts and watching what they do while they’re in Kuwait. They all seem to really love it here, @busleven for example have spent the most time in Kuwait than any other place they’ve been to so far because of how much they’re liking it. So check out their accounts, they usually all have great photos as well.

That’s Great they are happy in Kuwait and having a good time. By the way how do know when the are passing Kuwait?
i guess you’ll just spot their vans or trucks parked. All the ones I’ve seen have had their istagram accounts plastered on the trucks so they’re easy to spot.
Plus, they have foreign license plates. I remember seeing one small RV parked near Green Island with a French license plate, and they were air-drying their laundry next to a tree! 😂
Indeed a pleasant surprise… here? in Kuwait!?
Wonder how they manage visas ? aren’t visitor visa banned
evisas are still open https://evisa.moi.gov.kw/evisa/
Wish the eVisa list covered a more exhaustive list of countries.
I’m just happy they got their visas to enter the “promised land”
Curious about their toilets as Kuwait idk has black tank dumps……maybe they have composting toilets…….
public bathrooms is my guess or mall bathrooms
Or while going for a swim
I already see it coming and they might make it a fees to pay some sort of permit like the fishing permit 5kd for boats. They might charge something like that for rv’s to park by the sea.
People will protest cause their reason is, we can’t afford chalets so we get a rv is cheaper and park anywhere
