Kuwait → Kuwait City: key facts

A private transfer from Kuwait Airport (KWI) to Kuwait City costs €75 per car for 1–3 passengers and €110 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 19 km via 50; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrival hall of the terminal your flight lands at, after passport control, baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name, and walks with you to the car outside the terminal. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Kuwait International Airport lies in Farwaniya Governorate, south of the capital, and the old centre of Kuwait City is about 19 km away by road. The usual route runs north on the King Faisal Expressway (Route 50), the main airport road, past Farwaniya and the inner ring roads, and joins the First Ring Road around the old city. There are no road tolls in Kuwait. Traffic on the ring roads and the King Faisal Expressway is heavy on weekday mornings and in the late afternoon.

The historic core of Kuwait City sits inside the line of the First Ring Road. Souq Al-Mubarakiya, a grid of covered lanes with spice, textile and food stalls, lies a few blocks from the Grand Mosque and the Seif Palace on the waterfront. The Liberation Tower rises to the south-west, and Al Shaheed Park stretches along the old city wall line. The business district of Sharq, with its office towers and the Souq Sharq marina, lies to the east. Cars stop on the streets around the souq, whose lanes are explored on foot.

Public transport instead: Kuwait Public Transport Company (KPTC) bus 13 from Kuwait International Airport to Shuwaikh residential area via Khaitan and Airport Road; the route list ends at the Sheraton roundabout on the edge of the old city, a short walk from Souq Al-Mubarakiya, airport bus service 04:30-23:45.
