Looking into a job in Kuwait. The money sounds great, I still just have a few concerns about living there. What are the housing options for expats in Kuwait? Do expats all live in compounds like in Saudi Arabia? Will I likely be able to find a place with a garden and have access to faciliites like a gym and swimming pool? Any insights welcome!
