By Zainab Al-Mashoor The scent of refreshing flowers, the warmth of the sun’s rays, the beauty of bright colors and the coolness of ice cream all herald the arrival of summer. It’s the longest and warmest season of the year, a time to witness nature’s beauty, smell its fragrances and taste its offerings. In Kuwait, summer brings diverse activities and preferences.
Some residents eagerly await summer to travel and try new activities, while others enjoy a relaxing swim, a little tan or beach entertainment like paddling and jet skiing. Meanwhile, some prefer indoor activities to avoid the heat. Kuwait Times interviewed several residents to learn how they spend their summer in Kuwait and their favorite foods to beat the heat: Aseel Bashar, a Syrian resident, said: “The best thing about summer is ice cream, swimming and the comfortable attire I enjoy wearing — those simple baby pink and blue colors and white.
” Aseel spends her weekends swimming in the pool and tanning under the sun. Pineapple, with its sweet and sour taste, is her favorite fruit in this season as it’s refreshing. Laila Hazim, a Jordanian resident, described summer as “brightness, colors, beach, flowers and watermelon”.
Laila prefers traveling during the summer but also enjoys staying in Kuwait. She participates in camping and fun activities, spending a few days at resorts or a farm. “The animals we see in summer, such as flamingos and seagulls, are so beautiful,” she added.
