Visitors' Information

			Kuwait International Airport

Some major hotels provide transportation from the airport. Otherwise, the best thing is to have your sponsor meet you. If you need a taxi, there is a cab stand at the extreme left end of the arrivals area. Cabs at the airport are red or orange-colored and driven by locals. The fare from the airport to the city center is normally KD4. The fare to any part of the city should be no more than KD5.



		City Red Taxi


	For transportation once in the city, you will probably want to use the more modern radio-dispatch cabs, which are generally very trustworthy and reliable, but are unmetered. There is a set rate from one district to another, which may vary a little from one company to another. There are many reputable automobile rental firms operating in Kuwait, offering everything from economy cars to luxury sedans to rugged 4x4s. If you have an international driver's license, you may drive in Kuwait for the duration of your visitor's visa.

	For the adventurous, and those who like to experience life on the proletarian level, there is a network of public buses radiating out from the main Safat area downtown.
