Escaping traffic jams and congestion is a big challenge in Kuwait, a few minutes can make a huge difference, a few minutes can either make your boss happy at work or upset !
Knowing a little about the daily rush hours in Kuwait can save you a lot of time and un-necessary headache. I conducted a small poll where I asked relatives, co-workers, and friends about the times when traffic congestions are at their max, and I summed up the answers as follow:
Working days (Sun thru Thu): 7:00 am to 9:00 am, 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm, and 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Weekend (Fri and Sat): 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm
If you can manage to hit the road between before, after or in between these times, your life will be much easier.
Just remember that a few minutes make a really big difference !


hmm this is good, bas incomplete. Usually the traffic is one one side, depending on where you’re going. How about:
Working days (Sun thru Thu):
7:00 am to 9:00 am (North bound)
12:30 pm to 3:00 pm (South bound)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm (North & South bound)
Weekend (Fri and Sat): 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm (North & South bound)
By North bound, I mean from Salmiya to Jahra direction
By South bound, I mean from Jahra to Salmiya direction
Oops you’re right engima, your valuable comment completes the post, thanks so so much
I agree with the comment above “enigma” coz like he said the traffic also depends on the way of the traffic
