Kuwait City×Doha
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Kuwait City uses the KWD (د.ك) and Doha uses the QAR (ر.ق). Conversations can stay in Arabic, which is official in both countries. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.
