Teaching Jobs in Kuwait

Kuwait has short winters and is therefore better suited for people who prefer warm weather. However, high temperatures in the summer can reach 44 degrees celsius, 112 degrees fahrenheit. As Kuwait is slightly smaller than New Jersey, and entirely desert), there is only one urban population center.

The City of Kuwait is home to much of the country’s population. It is also the capital and urban center of Kuwait. Kuwait City is the center of the country’s small but wealthy economy too. The city, and in turn the country, is booming and the resulting growth in population and wealth has sent demand for education skyrocketing, making Kuwait City a Mecca for international teachers.

Kuwait City and the surrounding area, including Jahra and Ahmadi, offer ample opportunities for exploration, learning, and entertainment, the most numerous of which are the local souqs (markets that are common in the Arab world). You’ll find spices, hand-crafted clothing, and artwork, produce, meat, and livestock at souqs, it all depends on where you are. Visiting a souq is one of the best ways to see the relics of the complex Kuwaiti culture.

Kuwait City’s Grand Mosque offers a beautiful look at some of the most sacred traditions of Islam and how Muslims worship. Any great teacher should know about their students’ background and context in order to best teach them. The Grand Mosque is a fantastic start in learning about the traditional side of Kuwaiti culture. On the modern side, the Avenues of Kuwait City (a walking mall filled with the latest fashions and trends) give you an insider’s view to the juxtaposition of modern and traditional culture.
