Some on AQ called the facilities “horrible” and the behavior of the staff “appalling.” There is another reason the Kuwait International Airport makes this list: crime. According to the Kuwaiti Ministry of the Interior, Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh, located at the outskirts of the airport, has been identified as a “high-crime area.” Several official travel advisories have been issued about the neighborhood’s potential for violence.
