I passed by Intersport at 360 Mall today. They’ve been open since 360 launched but I only went in a few days ago and really liked the place. The shop feels really cozy and calm because the place is still brand new and there isn’t that much foot traffic. I used to like GoSport when they first opened up but now it feels hectic and the way things are laid out reminds me of Costco.
Intersport is smaller than GoSport but still manages to have a bit of everything. They’ve got sport watches, workout dvd’s, bicycles, skateboards, camping and beach gear, gym equipment, clothes, sneakers, a football section etc.. in addition to a few items here and there you can’t find anywhere else. The staff is also pretty friendly which is always a plus.
Intersport is located on the third floor of 360 Mall.
Note: I am organizing my categories and decided to create a new one called InFocus where I post about random places I find interesting or worth a visit.

Looks like a nice place. One of my friends has joined the cycling club and is looking for a descent bicycle in Kuwait. Hope there are some professional brands here. Quite a contrast to the last sports shop I visited – Naser sports club opposite the avenues when they had a sale…I felt as if I entered an egyptian school annual day function…
For bikes he can pass by Extreme sports at marina waves and check out their trek bikes or visit the salmiya branch.
Good initiative Mark
They have excellent service… I hope they maintain it.
Hi Akbar, Also u can try go sports they have good collections, also inside marina mall there is 1 toy shop they have racing bike,
can i know about the cycling club,how to join what are the criteria and whom to contact.
The best bikes in Kuwait are the Treks and Cannondales. The Treks are in Salmiya where Mark has mentioned. The Cannondales are available at Sultan Motor Sports which is located just of Canada Dry street in Shuwaikh.
It is the first right after the big McDonalds Totem on Canada Dry street.
I have 2 Treks and a Cannondale Mountain Bike, but you can get a selection of Road Bikes as well. With a mountain bike you get a lot more felxibillity where you go biking in Kuwait especially in the desert or on the back roads in Mutla ridge in winter.
These stores import just one container each year or so – and its really first come first serve in terms of model and size choices. When buying a mountain bike the center beam should be 2 inches below your fork when you stand straight on the ground directly in front of the seat. Frame sizes normally come in 2 inch gradient increases.. Happy Biking… ! ( A great place to start is Scientific Center to Marina Mall… or either side of Souk Sharq.)
I have a Cannondale myself but the reason I didn’t mention the dealer is because my friend passed by around 2 weeks back and they didn’t have anything…
AR Many thanks!
Anoop, its called the Desert Biking Club Of Kuwait, and their website is:

Serious bikers, they ride for atleast 30-40kms on weekends.
Those aren’t the 30-40kms riders. Desert Biking Club is more of a fun ride then a long and grueling trek. There is another club who ride form like fahaheel to salmiya.. or something like that
