While the blistering summer heat from June to September might challenge visitors, those inclined towards indoor activities can still enjoy Kuwait's malls, museums, and indoor entertainment facilities. However, do bear in mind that during Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn until dusk, some daily routines and services might alter.
