Being a strict Muslim society dress in public should be modest. Homosexuality is illegal, as is any public display of affection between men and women, and unmarried couples are not allowed to stay together. Alcohol is not permitted in Kuwait, and the use of this or the importation of obscene material can be punished with imprisonment. Photography near industrial, military or government buildings is illegal, including oil fields. Religious customs should be respected, particularly during the month of Ramadan when eating, drinking and smoking during daylight hours should be discreet as it is forbidden by the Muslim culture. It is important to carry identification at all times.
Tipping: A service charge of 15% is usually added to bills in restaurants and hotels; if not a tip of 10% is acceptable. Additional tipping is only expected in more expensive hotels. Taxi drivers appreciate a small tip for long journeys.
