extreme heat survival guide

You have to get used to drinking a lot of water, and don't stand in the fucking sun if you don't have to. If you're feeling dizzy you fucked up. I've lived all over the Sonoran desert. Just don't come out in the middle of the day.

Two of my friends work in Qatar now (yeah....), one in Dubai.
What they do is they barely leave air conditioned places. They always use their cars or cabs, don't just walk outside.
When they go to the beach/hotel pool areas, they stay in the shade.

One of them works 'outside' a lot, which means staying at air conditioned tents.

Keep hydrated.

I hear that now, during Ramadan, the Muslim colleagues keep collapsing. They have a special hidden place where they could drink, but they don't, so they end up in the hospital.

I've worked in the Middle East before.

Chances are you will be indoors for the whole time, Arabic countries dont give a shit about energy consumption, they will happily blast the AC 2/4 on max.

In the rare case you are working outside (maybe as a equipment operator or technician on complex machinery), you can wear what you want most of the time (unless your a businessman doing an inspection).

I ended up wearing Arabic style clothing when working in Saudi Arabia because it really was much better in terms of minimising heat and sunburn when compared to western clothing. I was on the extreme end of the job spectrum in terms of spending time outside in direct heat though (Geologist), so I don't expect you to need to as you wont spend much time outside.

So drink water, enjoy working inside all day which is likely given my occupation. Sounds straightforward enough. Forgive my total ignorance, but will I be able to buy the right clothing when I get there if what I bring just doesn't work for me? I have been told Kuwait is more expat than not, so I would assume so, just not too sure.

past the aforementioned heat survival, is there any anons who have advice on what to do or not do in kuwait? i would love to not be a huge cunt and i am mostly looking to go to my job and come home and watch anime
