Kuwait Municipality Approves 18 Campsites, Cancels 6 Ahead of November Season

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 20: Faisal Al-Otaibi, head of the camps committee in Kuwait Municipality, has announced that 18 camping sites have been approved for the upcoming season starting mid-November. However, six previously designated sites have been canceled, including areas in Al-Oyoun, Al-Abdaliyya, and two near the Al-Julaia camp.
Al-Otaibi mentioned that the selection and cancellation of the sites were based on coordination with relevant authorities, prioritizing the avoidance of specific locations. Field teams have already begun preparing the approved sites by clearing obstacles and distributing containers of various sizes.
In a separate announcement, Al-Otaibi stated that, due to ongoing maintenance, barbecues and shisha smoking have been banned along the coastal strip upon the request of the Tourism Projects Company. This ban applies to green spaces, sidewalks, and sandy areas until further notice. Legal action will be taken against those who violate these rules.
Additionally, inspection teams will be patrolling beaches, in cooperation with government agencies, to enforce the new restrictions. Currently, barbecues are still permitted at Al-Aqila and Al-Khiran Beach.
