in Kuwait! The State of Kuwait
Cradled between Saudi Arabia and Iraq in one of the most ancient and contested corners of the world, Kuwait has a certain cachet. It may be as oil-rich as other Gulf countries, and its architectural landscape as experimental and audacious, but it hasn't embraced glitz and glamour in the same way: perhaps it's the years lost to the Iraqi invasion and its aftermath, or maybe it's a conscious decision not to give in to commercialism.
Kuwait is an expensive country to visit. Accommodation ranges from KD 30 (£80) to KD 140 (£370) per night and relatively cheap eating options cost around KD 6 (£16). The currency in Kuwait is the Kuwaiti Dinar (KD).
It is very similar to Saudi and the other Gulf countries, but it has some special interest points that are just there. To start off, it is much quieter than the very popular UAE.
In the past, Kuwait was only famous for its oil, but they’ve been working the past few decades to strengthen tourism as an industry and they’ve accomplished a lot. Kuwait is right now one of the most fascinating places in the Arabic world. To help you budget a trip to Kuwait we have researched how much Kuwaiti Dinar you will need depending on your trip budget.

The value of Kuwaiti Dinar — first issued in 1961, is 3.30 dollars. It is considered the most valuable currency due to its stable value, as it's not subjected to supply and demand. Kuwait ended the link between its Dinar and the US dollar since 2007 and connected the currency with the value of a package of currencies. Kuwaiti Dinar has been the highest currency of the world for a while now because of the oil rich country’s economic stability.
The highest currency in the world is Kuwaiti Dinar (against the US Dollar). Kuwait is a small country with enormous wealth. The high value (rate) of its currency is explained by significant oil exports into the global market.
