Tipping in Kuwait
Customary: 10%. Not traditional. 10% at restaurants used to visitors.
At restaurants
What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting
Worked example
On a KWD20.000 bill, 10% is KWD2.000, so you would hand over KWD22.000.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about KWD5.000 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Appreciated on a private tour. Cash.
The money
Kuwait uses the Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD). Today 1 GBP is 0.417759 KWD.
