Fares
Kuwait is not a particularly cheap place to fly into or out of. The airlines and travel agents
control prices tightly, and few discount fares are available. The following fares represent
walk-in prices from Kuwait City with Gulf Air, one of the most flexible and comprehens-
ive airlines in the region.

Border Crossings
Kuwait has borders with Iraq (currently closed to visitors) and Saudi Arabia. The cross-
ings with Saudi Arabia are at Al-Nuwaisib (for Dammam) and Al-Salmy (for Riyadh).
You must have a valid visa for Saudi Arabia or a transit visa, an onward ticket and a visa
for your next destination beyond Saudi's borders before you can cross the border. You
cannot obtain these at the border.
