Send Flowers to Hawalli, Kuwait

Hawalli is one of the most densely populated parts of Kuwait, a grid of apartment blocks, shops and restaurants a short drive south-east of the capital. For decades it has been home to Arab expatriate families, among them Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians and Palestinians, together with many residents from South Asia and the Philippines. Its streets, including Tunis Street and Beirut Street, are known across the country for computer and electronics shops and for late-night food.

Because so many residents have relatives abroad, flower delivery in Hawalli is often arranged from another country altogether: a son in Canada sending a bouquet for Mother's Day on 21 March, a sister in Germany marking Eid, friends congratulating a graduate. Flowers are also a common gift for a new baby and for someone recovering at home.

Addresses here need care. Give the block number, street, building number or name, floor and flat number, plus a mobile number, because several buildings on one street can look alike and the florist may ring to confirm the entrance. If the recipient is out, the building caretaker, known locally as the haris, can often accept the bouquet. Orders placed before midnight Kuwait time are delivered the next day, Saturday to Thursday. There is no same-day or Friday delivery.
