In this vlog, we're exploring more of Kuwait City, Kuwait - specifically, some of the fanciest and newest places in the city. We start off at the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Center, which is an incredible museum complex. Then we head over to The Avenues Mall, which for me was the best mall I've ever seen - better than Dubai Mall.

I've never been to Kuwait but it's my favorite country in the Gulf🇹🇷❤️🇰🇼The Emir of Kuwait, who died in the past years, was a very good and peaceful person. I am really sorry for his death.

i was born and i am living in germany. I was also in the
ost of the european countries. you can be sure the all gulf states are more developed than the most of the countries in europe. gulf states have more control about their borders and are more friendliy. you can see the friendly people and the respect because of the muslim people.

As a Kuwaiti, I just realized how much I take the avenues for granted.
🇹🇳🇰🇼 yeah the avenues mall and street salem mubarek .. favorite place for me ...اجمل ذكريات قديما الكويت الحبيبة تحياتي من تونس

I'm not a Kuwaiti but I've lived there for a while, this vid makes u appreciate Kuwait more.

I used to live in Kuwait! (I’m in Egypt now) and it’s such a blast over there, especially for people who like video games and animation/anime! I miss the mall a lot,, glad you had fun!
I grew up with many Egyptian friends in school. they'd all moved out now that im almost 30 which sucks, I do miss em.
What’s special for anime fans? In Kuwait
@@imthias5710 there’s shops such as Geekay (more focused on gaming but yknow you might find anime games), Geek Nation and Uff are the only anime shops I know so far, they’re in the avenues mall and a bunch of other malls in the country
🇰🇼🇪🇬💓💓💓💓
I also lived in Kuwait as an Egyptian, and yes the quality of life is like no other. I’m now in canada and feel scammed by life here , hope to go back one day 😄
As an expat living in Kuwait 🇰🇼 I can confirm that The Avenues is quite an experience ❤😊
What do u do there
@@SuperGeentyou can see shops like chanel or Gucci or famous shops in the world and avenues is a small city place alike
ا
Avenues Mall is amazing. I remember when I visited and was blown away. That outdoor feeling part of the mall made it feel like I was walking through a small town. It was great. Kuwait is great. I got spoiled by all the good restaurants and food there.
I'm so happy you came to Kuwait to show your subscribers the country. Specially since we are not a touristic country so a lot of people do not know ANYTHING about Kuwait. There are so many more places to explore other than what was shown and I hope one day we start opening up to become a touristic gulf country.
Exactly I’m from Kuwait too I’m assuming just like you IMAGINE IF PEOPLE KNEW WE EXISTED lol

@@thejuicymop8128 well, the educated people that live in the area know your country pretty well. Some have even visited it (me me me 🤣). A thing to be improved is the service sector.
I've been to that mall many times and I still get lost in it, it's so huge.
🤣🤣
my mom too😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Me 2 🤣
As a Kuwaiti girl, I can see that you have been able to explain more than one place in Kuwait (in your Kuwait videos as well) and you have explained the beautiful scenery of Kuwait to those who want to go to Kuwait and do not know where to go, I really thank you
Hi are you still in Kuwait? I’m planning on coming
@@HappyHabbitsHub yes l live in Kuwait

@@doug_barnard ur welcome
Yah thank you from my heart for this journey Doug it’s pretty much beautiful to show for the people in the entire world how Kuwait looks like.❤️🇰🇼
makes me proud to see a video of my own country, thanks Doug
LMAO me too
I was born in Kuwait, been there a few years of my life, Loved it ..... Sweet Memories...!!!
Much love from Pakistan...!!!
The people there are so sweet and they are greeting you everywhere 👏🏻
Welcome to Kuwait Doug
I hope you’re enjoying your stay and discoveries . The avenues mall has lots of different phases done by the hands of international architects reflecting different eras. I really think you’ll enjoy paying a visit to alshaheed park near your hotel and, if i may, recommend you to book a boat trip to an island where you can sit back and enjoy some fishing and tanning on huge sea floats.
Fantastic video as usual Doug. That's an awesome looking Mall
واو مره حلو ابد ماتخيلت الافنيوز كذا 😍😍
Looks amazing out there bro!
Am from Uganda, am a nanny and when my boss first took me to Avenue Mall, we entered through the side that's designed like a Paris Street, I froze, said some very "abusive" colourful language to express how beautiful that mall is
😂
❤️
😂😂😂😂😂

Amazing vlog as you do in each odyssey.
Kuwait is a gem in the gulf. Waiting for the next videos.
Thank you for building a genuine and big heart bridge between cultures. Blessings and plenty of health and happiness inchallah.
This is by far the best coverage/representation the Avenues mall has ever had and a very fair one ☝🏻
I go there every 3-4 days 😊
And you’re right, I’ve been to Dubai mall it’s got nothing on the Avenues including the atmosphere and I’m not being biased as a Kuwaiti :D
ماشاءالله هذا الافنيوز انا اذا رحت له حدي صوب ايكيا بس 😀 ماتوقعته چذيه ماشاءالله. اهلا بك في الكويت🇰🇼
Bringing you good tidings.
INCROYABLE! 💖Shokran.
Thanks for reviewing kuwait 🇰🇼 I am a Kuwaiti and I like how people say nice things
May God bless our Emir, our people and our land 🇰🇼💙
Best video from the series 👌🏼 the avenues was amazing we had to go there a second time during the day
AS A KUWAITI I FELT VERY PROUD WHILE WATCHING YOUR VLOG! ( MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY)

Hey Doug just found something for you to visit it’s called “shaheed park” it’s urban park consisting of plenty green areas
coming up in the next video 😁
just don't go during the day!!!! it's been 50's every day lately... 😅😅😅
@@doug_barnard if u come to kuwait again in winter you should visit it too its so much better in winter
Woahh I can't believe a cool mall like this exists! Dubai Mall can't compete with this!
Yes our Avenues mall ia the best
@@youseftalal4211 agreed
It’s the largest in the middle east and 18th in the world
I lived in Kuwait for 5 years (2013-2018) and seeing The Avenues mall brought back so many memories. They've added a lot to it since 2018 but also so many of the stores and restaurants remain the same. Definitely the best mall I've ever been to and that includes Dubai Mall in UAE and Mall of Asia in Philippines. Thanks for the video and walk down memory lane!
Good morning Barnard, I was very happy to see your travel experiences.I'm from Bangladesh and I have been there in Kuwait for last 22 years then left end of 2018. During that time I have seen so many developments from the scratch, specially Avenues, Marina, Souk Sharq, Alhamra tower & mall, The Gate Mall, Al-Raya Shopping Center, Al Hamra Business Tower & Shopping Center, Al-Shaheed Park & Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre etc. Me and my family miss Kuwait so much, especially the Arab traditional foods from Al Mubarakiya, we used to have lunch or dinner there every weekend either Avenues mall.Our two children born in Kuwait and they had a lot of pleasure and enjoyed there. So many memories there, Thanks man for refreshing those memories once again.
where are you right now, in bangladesh?
Dubai, UAE 🇦🇪 gets a lot of the social media “attention” & all, but I feel like the other Gulf countries are so underrated even tho they have the exact same standards 🇰🇼 🇶🇦 🇧🇭… I still love Dubai tho as it was once home too me ❤️. Great vlog Doug!
thanks a lot! i agree!
Dubai was and will always be way ahead of it's time. What others are doing now, Dubai has done long ago.
@@ns-dxb7251 exactly
dubai is only 45 years old. dubai is the fastest developed country in the world history.
@@lugartan3418 Dubai isn’t a country tho, it’s a city
One of the best malls, they opened The Avenues in Bahrain few years ago and now they are building new one in East Saudi Arabia in Dhahran
As a person who currently lives in Kuwait I have just realized that there are so many more sections of the avenues. Btw this is only phase three-four there is the original avenues and there is the grand avenues. I have just discovered your channel and I am currently loving your videos, keep up the good work!
thank you for your videos and effort! it's always a pleasure to see your videos !!
اخيرا لقينا احد بس يقول ما عندنا غير مطاعم و قهاوي
beautiful place, honestly after living in a backwater for so long i could use a good mall!
there is an indescribable positivity in middle eastern countries, love this video😍
Until you look deeper into and see all the corruption here, all the abuse of domestic helpers and human trafficking
you are always welcome to kuwait thank you for visiting even though i’m kuwaiti and went to all places i enjoyed this video ❤️
Lucky to have u doug, have fun🇰🇼❤️❤️
im from kuwait but i never realized how amazing this mall was even though i visit it a lottt! great video btw!
Bro, kindda lik Kuwai, dat goood
I’ve walked this mall many times. I was amazed as well. One of my favorite places to eat and relax was The Gardens.
omg love that tour .. thanks♥♥
Kuwait is a small country with a big heart. Their food and culture is awesome and Kuwaiti hospitality and appreciation for everything is slim to none. 🖤💚🤍❤️🇰🇼
تحية من العراق إلى البلد الجميل الكويت🇮🇶🇰🇼❤❤

Not for foreigners
Cap
Thanks for this video 🇰🇼👏🏻💕
Kuwait is underrated because I don’t really hear about in the media often but the mall reminds me of the malls in Dubai :)
The Avenues is definitely a beautiful mall not to be missed on any trip to Kuwait . The shopping options are amazing . Even some of the restrooms are 5 star luxury 🤣. All types of restaurant and a sea of beautifully dressed people to entertain the eyes. Now all I need is a pocket book that compares to the offerings.
thank u sm for the great representation of Kuwait
Welcome, I always go there and it’s never boring. Also, I like that it’s not so hard to know the places you’re mostly going in a one straight line.
Literally, I am Kuwaiti and l have visited the Avenues more than once,
but in places in the video. Not once did I go to her and was shocked
by her beauty. Thank you for this nice video and tour.
May the peace of Allah be with you always.
Oh I miss Kuwait alot!! Specially the Prestige Mall
it is amazing that you are able to explain lots of variaty
Im from Kuwait and you made me realize how special the Avenue mall is ❤️
Sorry im not free these days
This place is beautiful and sophisticated💕
Well done Doug ❤️🇹🇳
Excellent video great content!
Thank you for showing the good parts in our Kuwait 🥰🥰
Enjoy your time
Coming from Kuwait 🇰🇼
thank you!
Uhh thanks for posting this vid 🥹 im homesick these days (studying in the UK) so it was nice seeing Kuwaiti families & the avenues 😩💔
The gardens is actually a mini indoor garden in a mall that have a chain of restaurants as well! It's really beautiful to see! ❤️❤️
Great video buddy I can assure you here in new Zealand we have nothing remotely close to that gem of a mall
Well new zealand is not known for the mall lol
تحية للأخوة في الكويت
Great video and professional photography, welcome to Kuwait
Hey Doug I watch your videos like I’m watching a very nice movie I don’t get bored not even for one second. thank you so much for bringing us such an amazing content.
thank you so much for the kind words!!
I advise you to go to the Al-Othman Museum, which is worthy of cultural content, and it is one of the most beautiful museums in Kuwait
Wow it’s amazing place!😍 As a Saudi women I have been there ,and enjoyed eating their scrumptious food 🥘
May the peace of Allah be with you always.
I really love this video, i've never really realised the beauty of the avenues, i live close to the avenues and always go there on weekends so i was just always so oblivious to these little details, and i've never actually been to the avenues gardens before, ive gone to every place in the avenues but never even explored that place, it was great to see it in the video, ill have to see it for myself tho!
I love Bahrain too!
Amazing vlog and peaceful video!
Thanks dear best friend💐💐💐💐
Hi Doug I just wanna say you're a great explorer I am actually here in Kuwait fir already 5 years but haven't see the full avenue's mall maybe in my next day off I will go there....
thank you! hope you get a chance to check it out!
@@doug_barnard i am native Kuwaiti and i haven't seen all of the Avenue's, for those whom concern ;P
all i know it is so huge! the fun fact i order my stuff from US Amazon lol
I will thank you 💛
Im kuwaiti and i love the malls,food and other stuff and i watched when you ate the kuwaiti food. I recommend the shawarma by kuwaitana.also i love all the other gulf countries!
I agree I have visited Kuwait about 5 times and each time the mall still impressed me.
Nicely done Bro the Avenues the place to be love this Mall which i used to work up to now enjoy watching
I thought the mall was normal but you made me realize how beautiful it is
That was fun, if you're still in Kuwait then there's a cool oil exhibition in Al Ahmadi area, opens from 9 am to 6 pm according to Google maps.
Yes Avenues, I was there yesterday. Great content! Thank you. Stay safe and hydrated. Kuwait is soooo hot these days.
Bring you good tidings from Allah.
Try visiting the island of Failaka, the ferry makes 2 round trips a day and I believe the ticket costs around 10kd (bit more if bringing a car). The island has intact ruins from the Iraqi invasion, and couple of resorts and restaurants. It's mostly a quiet place but I think it's a cool experience for the price.
I born in Kuwait I race in Kuwait until I was 28 years old but I moved out to America for couple reasons I missed Kuwait we have good memories and fortunate going back next month visiting with my wife God Bless state of Kuwait
Kuwait is definitely an interesting country to say the least…,Because all I knew from this country was the Gulf War and nothing else… Really happy there’s more to it.
Only thing I don’t like about Kuwait is the way the govt treats the people who work there from other countries. When the govt needs money, they tend to find ways to make people from other countries pay more.
Poor policies for a country who relies on other people from other countries to keep theirs going
@@abukhalilmuhammadosman9979 No
@@abukhalilmuhammadosman9979 I think you're talking about Qatar, yep that's an evil country towards foreign workers basically treating them as slaves. In Kuwait they don't do that as far as I know.
@Nook Small dude your delusional.. but you’re also probably Kuwaiti which figures
@@metaleuman I used to work in Qatar and not for the country Itself.. they have an issue of luring workers from other countries with a promised salary and then capping it at half
Beautiful video about Avenues Mall.👍
احس فخرر 💪🏻🥺💓
Life of kuwait is very simple , easy , affordable n good for family and besides being luxuriously amazing it has maintained its core values of religion n culture. Plus humanitarian things in kuwait is well know like 100 fills falafel sandwich , 100 fils of pita bread , nutritious food available in jamiyas( government owned supermarket ) is still going on the same price since it was decreed by the late king as he said no person should b left hungry in this country .
And treating brown expat as dogs!!!!
Just look at the size of some of them, geez’o stop by the salad bar a wee bit more.
Kuwait is not a kingdom so we don’t have kings + no taxes in Kuwait
🌹
lol in Kuwait one of sheikhs made it a law for Falafil to make it ALWAYS 100 fills
The section you called space zone is actual designed like nyc (I think, that’s what my friends told me)
Just stumbled across your videos, Doug, and I really enjoyed watching your Kuwait series. You blend with the culture, my friend. Really keen to visit Kuwait after watching your vids now. Will be watching your other stuff. Thank you so much for sharing. You make an excellent travel buddy
