Friends:

I need some information. I know this is not the place to ask for such information, but hope moderator will allow it to remain on this portal for just one day. :)

I am planning to fly to New Delhi thru Kuwait Airways and back to USA in Dec 2004. I would appreciate if someone who has been thru that sector can share some information. My travel agent says - I will get hotel accomodation arranged by Airlines in Kuwait for 20 hours while on my journey back to USA. What sort of hotel is that? How expensive is food there? Can we get some veggie stuff too?

Other thing that is in my mind is how good place is Kuwait even for a 3 hour transit? In other words is it safe to travel thru Kuwait?

And last but not the least - anything that you feel one should know while travelling Kuwait/Mid East(I have never done it before - been thry Europe only). Feel free to guide me. Some people told me that Burka is must in mid-east and that you will be waked up for prayer during flight. I do not believe it but just wanted to confirm. (I know Brunei Airline does it.).

Moderator - TIA.
 
Ajay,

I have travelled through Abu Dhabi and stayed in a hotel with Emirates on couple of occasions. Usually the hotel is near the airport; a 3-star at least. Since there are many Indian/Pakistanis living there, food should not be a problem. We always get a full buffet with veggie and non-veggie dishes. Burka was not forced on anyone neither was one woken up for it. You will probably see more indians there than locals. You can correspond with kuwait airways to get more specific answers at:
