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 KWD10.000 bill, 10% is KWD1.000, so you would hand over KWD11.000.

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.
