Wooden items
Wooden ornaments from Kuwait make for great souvenirs, especially if you are a home decor freak. Made locally by skilled artisans, these products are lightweight, durable, and handy. Most of them even feature Arabic calligraphy and intricate Kuwaiti art, which makes them more pleasing. From coasters to showpieces, you may get spoiled for choice as there are plenty of options to choose from.
Perfume
Most Arabic countries are known for perfumes and Kuwait is no different. You can purchase a bottle of attar, which is an Arabian perfume that is available in a plethora of scents. Look out for some traditionally-made ones, especially those that comprise a floral or fruity fragrance as they are both popular as well as easy on the pocket.
Metal ornaments
Metalwork is an important part of Kuwait's economy and culture. From teapots, cups, and trays to showpieces and lamps, there is something of metal for everyone up for grabs in souks across the country. Metal carvings of camels and towers are two of the most popular souvenirs, so make sure you are taking them home too.
Gold jewelry
Arabic countries are synonymous with gold and so is Kuwait. Here, you will find a spread of gold jewelry which is known for its top quality and authenticity. There are many beautiful options in 21- and 22-carat gold accessories that are available in traditional Arabic/Kuwaiti designs and patterns. Kuwait Gold Souq is a one-stop destination for all things gold, so do visit it.
