My friend and I are students who have the opportunity to teach in a private school in kuwaite city for a month. however, we are concerned about our safety. Can anybody shed anylight?

I'm from Kuwait even though I currently live in Scotland and I can assure you that you'll be fine, when I was in school in Kuwait, a British school, I had friends from many different places (blonde, ginger, pink) and no one had any trouble. Some places are more liberal than others so bikinis are not to be worn everywhere, food is really good, lots of shopping opportunities. You might get some catcalls and boys trying to get your attention but they do that to everyone, its like the idiot's mating call. You learn to ignore them.
Have a nice trip, if you're going soon it's going to be a scorcher.

Not sure why you are worried about Kuwait. It is very safe. The place has a lot of US military their and it is one of the main routes that American take beofre going into Iraqi. Not an issue with the fair hair. You need to remember that not all Arabs are olive skinned and dark. We have all shades like everyone else. The only issue is not much to see in Kuwait and it is more americanized like most of the gulf states not like Syria, Jordan etc.

I arrived here in May from the US to work for a year. I am a blonde woman. I feel very safe here and wander around Salmiya where I live at night by myself shopping and usually stop to eat at one of the many very good restaurants. I have never had a negative experience. The people here are very courteous. However I do notice that they stare at any women in shorts and sleeveless tops so I avoid dressing like that. I wear business attire to work with knees covered and nothing too clingy. After work I wear a tee shirt and capri's...it is very hot here right now.

I think if you respect the customs and people here they reciprocate. Basically, Americans are very well received. Although my company works with the American Military in Kuwait...they are away from the city and are resticted to the base so you will not see a big US presence here...

dont worry take the job

You can worship freely in your own home. There are hundreds of thousands of Indians living in Kuwait, many of them Hindu. The Kuwaitis do not permit temples for religions other than Islam, Judaism and Christianity. No one will bother you in your own apartment, however. Just don't eat, drink or smoke during Ramadan, and don't "proselytize." The Muslims can proselytize in the USA and Canada, but they won't allow in their own countries!
