Has anyone spent any time in Kuwait lately?

Question

If so, what is value of dinars vs U.S. Dollars? are items more expensive there than in the U.S.?

Answer 1

Yes, I was there in last week. The exchange rates Between US Dollars and Kuwaiti Dinar Is:

1 US Dollar = 0.29066 Kuwaiti Dinar
1 Kuwaiti Dinar = 3.44045 US Dollar

I believe the rates are competitive in Kuwait than US. You can make good shopping for less and all the international brands are widely available in Kuwait.

Hope the above information will help.
