Over the past 90 days, the Kuwaiti Dinar has dropped by 0.46% from 0.389 on the 22nd July to 0.3872 today. Back then, £750 would have bought you KD1.35 more than it would today. During this period the Kuwaiti Dinar hit a high of 0.396 on the 16th October and a low of 0.3797 on the 4th September. You can see more historical exchange rate data over longer time frames on our Kuwaiti Dinar exchange rate history page.
The Kuwaiti Dinar is the most valuable currency in the world. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, huge amounts of Kuwaiti Dinar were stolen or went missing. Immediately after it's liberation following the Gulf War, the Kuwaiti government issued new notes which rendered the millions of pounds worth of stolen currency completely worthless overnight.
Although the Kuwaiti Dinar is so valuable, it is now pegged to the US Dollar. The Dollar to Dinar rate is now $3.60 USD to 1 KWD. The pegged rate means that there is little difference in the exchange rates regardless of whether you try and change money in a souq or at a major bank. The only advantage in using a bank is that they will also cash travellers cheques. It may be more advantageous to buy US Dollars at a more competitive rate than to buy Kuwaiti Dinars.
We do not recommend using cheques in Kuwait. "Bouncing" cheques is illegal and the law does not provide for offenders to be released from custody on bail. "Post-dated" cheques can be banked immediately irrespective of the date on the cheque so you must ensure that you have sufficient funds to cover any cheques written.
Before you travel to Kuwait you can get advice from the UK Government website
British nationals need a visa to enter Kuwait but you can get one for free by applying to the Kuwaiti Embassy in London before you travel. Visas are normally granted for 30 days to tourists and up to 90 days for business travellers.
Upon arrival you may be asked to provide proof of return or onward travel, confirmation of accommodation and a sponsor's letter. See the Embassy website for more information.
Prepaid currency cards are designed specifically to be used overseas. They work the same way as a standard UK bank card, except their fees are lower when used in Kuwait and the exchange rates are much better than those offered by most high street banks.

If you need Kuwaiti Dinars in a hurry or don't want to wait in for home delivery, our Click & Collect service can search for Kuwaiti Dinar suppliers near you. Reserve and buy online and collect in-store at a time that's convenient for you.
