Send Flowers to Jahra, Kuwait

West of the capital, where the built-up coast gives way to open desert, Jahra has a different feel from the rest of urban Kuwait. It began as an oasis village with wells and date palms, and the Red Fort, a mud-walled landmark from the late nineteenth century, still stands in the town. Today Jahra is the main city of the largest governorate by area, stretching towards the northern and western borders.

Most residents are Kuwaiti families, many of Bedouin heritage, living in large houses where several generations share a home and guests are received in the diwaniya. Hospitality is taken seriously, and flowers arrive for weddings, the birth of a child, a return from pilgrimage, a graduation or a recovery from illness. Jahra Hospital serves the whole area.

Anyone who wants to send flowers to Jahra from abroad should order before midnight Kuwait time. A local florist delivers the next day, Saturday to Thursday. There is no same-day service and no Friday delivery. Addresses follow the Kuwaiti pattern of area, block, street and house number, and Jahra is divided into several named areas such as Qasr, Naeem, Waha and Oyoun, so include the exact one. The desert climate is hot and dry, and bouquets should be kept well away from the sun.
