United Arab Emirates diaspora in Kuwait

People from United Arab Emirates in Kuwait meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from United Arab Emirates live in Kuwait?

According to the United Nations, 28,600 people from the United Arab Emirates live in Kuwait.

Therefore Kuwait ranks number 2 among the destinations of the United Arab Emirates diaspora.

In total, 160,000 people from United Arab Emirates live abroad, and about 18% of them live in Kuwait.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from United Arab Emirates in Kuwait

No community for people from United Arab Emirates exists in Kuwait on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Koweït, and each one can host its community.

Joining the United Arab Emirates community in Kuwait

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
