Where to Go in Kuwait in November
Kuwait City & Coastal Plain
Salmiya, Sharq, Al Kout
November brings mild, comfortable weather with daytime temperatures in the high teens to low 20s°C and fresh nights that pair well with outdoor dining along the waterfront. The risk of a passing winter shower rises compared with October, but overall conditions are excellent for walking the old harbour district and visiting the Grand Mosque. Tourist crowds increase as temperatures are ideal, so book accommodations early for weekend holidays.
Northern Desert & Jahra Plain
Jahra, Mutla Ridge, northern farms
November marks the start of true winter conditions inland: daytime temperatures are mild, but evenings grow chilly enough for sweaters and light coats. Occasional showers become more likely than in summer, and the desert can look refreshed after rain - migratory birds return to the Jahra Pools and wetlands. Travellers enjoy crisp, clear days for exploring historical sites, but remember that desert nights are colder than along the coast.
Southern Desert & Oilfields
Al Ahmadi, Mina Abdullah, Wafra
November brings consistently mild days and cooler nights, creating comfortable conditions for travel around Al Ahmadi and coastal southern points. Rain chances rise slightly in late November, but extended wet spells are still rare - the desert takes rain slowly. If planning birdwatching or visiting the agricultural strip at Wafra, bring layers for chilly mornings and expect pleasant daylight hours.
Islands & Gulf Waters
Failaka, Bubiyan, Kubbar, Umm al-Maradim environs
November is a favorable month for island trips with mild daytime temperatures and clearer seas; migratory birds pass through Bubiyan, making it a top month for birdwatchers. Rain is still possible but infrequent; the calmer winds mean fewer cancellations and more relaxed ferry timetables. Bring binoculars, a windproof jacket for early mornings and expect more local weekend traffic as Kuwaitis head offshore for day trips.
