Official Travel Advice

From the Australian DFAT Smartraveller

Do not travel

Challenges

The Kuwaiti Dinar is the most expensive currency in the world due to their oil exports, don't come poor

The food is some of the worst I've ever experienced, getting a decent feed is hard and the chance of sickness quite high

Do

Speak with the locals in Iraqi Kurdistan. They're incredibly friendly and willing to host. Just make sure to share the love

Don't

Don't stay in the Kuwaiti sun too long, it's one of the easiest places in the world to suddenly die of dehydration without ever feeling thirsty
