Kuwait Tours 2024-2025

Young Pioneers Tour are pleased to offer our 2024 and 2025 Kuwait Tours and Travel packages.

A real crossroads of old and new, Kuwait offers ancient Arabic and Greek sites, combined with one of the most modern cities in the world, this is not a regular destination!

Often overlooked by western visitors, there is much more to a Kuwait tour than merely ticking of the country – so why not join a YPT trip to Kuwait to see it all firsthand?

KUWAIT TOURS – GROUP TOURS TO KUWAIT

YPT have been organizing group tours to Kuwait since 2018, when we first entered Saudi Arabia. These Kuwaiti Group Tours are usually combined with Saudi Arabia, but can be done as standalone, or combined with other destinations (see below).

Our tours are capped at 16; this is to ensure you have a great trip and are not merely herded around like cattle. As we say group tours to Kuwait for people who hate group tours.

Kuwait City Persian Gulf Tour – 13th-16th October 2024- $695

Kuwait City Persian Gulf Tour

K uwait City Highlights Tour – 5th – 8th February 2025 – $695

Kuwait City Highlights Tour

Did we mention we like Kuwait City? This tour features all of the main sites that we usually take in, but much more importantly this Kuwait tour can also be combined with Iraq as well as Saudi Arabia , as our tours to these destinations run directly before and after our Kuwait tours.

Tours can also be combined with other Middle-Eastern destinations, such as Iran.

We’re currently working on tours to Kuwait in 2025 and beyond, so bookmark this page or follow on our various social media pages for updates on travel to Kuwait.

KUWAIT INDEPENDENT TOURS

Recently, there has been a huge demand for our independent Kuwait tours as it builds a bridge between our popular Middle Eastern destinations. YPT can cater for your requirements to create a personalised itinerary to fit into your schedule. 

Your bespoke itinerary can be taken care of by YPT, we just need to know your timeframe, interests, and the level of accommodation you like and where would like to eat and drink – these factors and your group size will reflect on our competitive prices.

“ Amazing! A really informative day. ”

We had a great experience with Waleed! He told us a lot of great information and facts. He really did know everything! We were unlucky that some of the things we wanted to see were closed for Ramadan but he more than made up for it. Really loved going across the causeway and visiting the souk. 10/10!

It was my pleasure to guide you in Kuwait city and many thanks for your review and looking forward to meet you again in Kuwait at future. Thanks Waleed

Places to Visit in Kuwait City on a 1-2 Day Kuwait Itinerary!

Categories Itinerary , Kuwait , Middle East

If you’ve looked into places to visit in Kuwait already for your Kuwait itinerary you’ll probably know that there isn’t that much to do in this Gulf Country, despite is being much bigger than Bahrain and Qatar for example. In fact, the whole city and many of the best things to do in Kuwait can be seen in 1 day in Kuwait and if you visit more of the museums in Kuwait and malls in Kuwait, it could take you 2 days in Kuwait.

With that said, there is more to Kuwait than Kuwait City like the Desert, Beaches and Islands but you will need your own transport to get to them. So in this Kuwait travel blog and Kuwait city blog, I am going to focus on how to see Kuwait as a tourist and help you with places to visit in Kuwait city.

In this Kuwait travel guide, I have also detailed accommodation in Kuwait, how to get around Kuwait and the best time to visit Kuwait!

How to get around Kuwait.

To really see Kuwait, like in many other Middle Eastern Countries, you will need your own transport. However, to get around Kuwait city easily you can catch a taxi and use Uber no problem and this will help you see all of these places to see in Kuwait City noted in this post.

City Bus Kuwait is the best way to get around Kuwait on a budget though and although the bus driver may drive a bit erratically and barely stop as you get off, the bus system in Kuwait city is actually quite good and extremely cheap due to it being government-run. You can buy a 1 day city bus Kuwait pass for 1KD / £2.50 / $3.30.

There’s a City Bus Kuwait App which you can download and this website is very helpful in giving the bus routes around Kuwait city.

Kuwait City Bus also connects the airport with Kuwait city and downtown Kuwait so be sure to look into this when working out how to get to your hotels in Kuwait. 

On this point, if you would like to see more of the local Kuwaiti life and what it might be like to be one of the ex-pats in Kuwait, I’d recommend looking on Couch Surfing .

Kuwait Itinerary.

1 day in kuwait.

I recommend starting your first day in Kuwait by the  Scientific Centre Kuwait . From here you will see an amazing view of Downtown Kuwait across the water in the distance and there are kilometres of the pedestrian boardwalk you can walk, or hire a bike, down making it an enjoyable way to see the city and be by the ocean. This point definitely offers the best view of Kuwait city for free!

Walk all the way down to the Kuwait Marina and Marina Mall . This is the new marina in Kuwait and it has a public beach. Its’ easily one of the top places to visit in Kuwait city for tourists.

If you are hungry there are plenty of restaurants in Marina Mall however I recommend visiting  Fareej Swalieh . There are a few of these restaurants in Kuwait, the name on the sign is in Arabic but if you go behind Marina Mall and find M&S along the road, you will see a restaurant with lots of flags outside and seating outside. This is a good Kuwaiti restaurant with reasonable prices and therefore one of the best places to visit in Kuwait.

Watch my Kuwait YouTube Vlog here to see exactly where this restaurant is!

For more ideas of what to do in Kuwait city, there is a boat trip ticket office around Marina Mall but this boat trip is so expensive at 20KD / £50.00 / $65.00. If you want to see the city from the water I recommend going to the old Marina which is what I did. It is down the road but the pedestrian walkway stops so you should probably get a taxi or a bus down the road.

Aim to go to The Sultan Jeans Grill and this is where the old Marina of Kuwait is and you can get a boat trip to see Kuwait city for just 1KD which lasts about 30 minutes and I’d really recommend doing this on your Kuwait itinerary!

From either Marina, you will need to get a taxi, uber or bus to take you to the Kuwait Towers as it is too far to walk.

The Kuwait Towers are probably the most visited Kuwait city attractions and definitely the most popular place to visit in Kuwait! They are cool to see from the ground and there is a little beach next to them. There is also a water amusement park which opens up for the warmer months of the year, the waterpark in Kuwait would be one of the great things to do in with children in Kuwait.

For an observatory in Kuwait and a Kuwait viewpoint, you can go up one of the Kuwait Tower which is especially at sunset so I would recommend going up there for 3KD.

If you follow this Kuwait itinerary and visit the Kuwait Towers for sunset, next get a taxi to the Grand Mosque in Kuwait which is the biggest and the official Mosque of Kuwait, it’s extremely impressive from the inside and is in the top 10 places to visit in Kuwait. You’ll now be in Downtown Kuwait and also close to Sief Palace .

I did a tour of the Grand Mosque in Kuwait city which I recommend. It lasts about 25 minutes, it’s free and is a good way to see and learn about the mosque and Islam with an English speaking guide.

The tours are on from Sunday to Thursday at 5:00 pm, 5:30 pm, 6:00 pm & 6:30 pm .

One thing you should know about Kuwait, and this is similar in many Middle Eastern cities and countries is that places come alive in the evening, especially in the summer when day time temperatures are extremely hot. So doing your Kuwait sightseeing in the evening is perfectly normal here.

On this note – Kuwait is extremely safe. It’s one of the safest countries in the world in fact so do not be worried about walking around at night and if you are visiting Kuwait as a woman, don’t worry at all. 

From the Grand Mosque, you can walk to the many souqs in Kuwait in the Downtown area and these are definitely good places to visit in Kuwait to see local life and eat some more local food. Souq Al Mubarkiya  is a huge souq in Kuwait and you can walk around it for a while and it will change from being outdoors, indoors, selling food to clothes to everything else. I really loved it here because it seems it’s where the old and new Kuwait mix.

To end your 1 day in Kuwait I recommend heading to Al Shaheed Park which you can walk to from Mubarkiya.

I didn’t seem to take any photos here so check out my YouTube video to see the souq!

Al Shaheed Park is a beautiful, new and modern park. At night it is all lit up and it gives an amazing view of the city skyline too. There are fountains with regular light shows and places to sit. Visiting here really gives an insight into what the people are like in Kuwait and the lifestyle in Kuwait and is a good place to visit when thinking about what to do in Kuwait.

With 1 or 2 more days in Kuwait you could visit the National Museum of Kuwait which is huge and my friends in Kuwait said you could easily spend half a day in there, if not a full day so keep this in mind when planning your Kuwait itinerary.

Kuwait loves its malls so visiting one of the many malls in Kuwait is technically one of the local things to do in Kuwait in my opinion.

For the best shopping mall in Kuwait, head to The Avenues because it is the second biggest mall in the Middle East after Dubai Mall however my friends say that by length, it is bigger so it’s one of the popular places to visit in Kuwait!

Green Island is in between the Marina and the Kuwait Towers so it is easy for tourists to visit and get to in Kuwait. This is a popular place for locals to hang out and have a picnic outside for dinner.

Kuwait has many islands but the most popular island in Kuwait to visit is Failaka Island because here you can see a lot of what the old Kuwait used to be like. You can get a ferry over here and a car ferry over but it is still harder, especially as a solo traveller to Kuwait.

Best Time to Visit Kuwait.

The summers in Kuwait get extremely hot and can get up to 50c which even the locals can’t deal with! High Season in Kuwait is, therefore, February and March. 

I was in Kuwait for New Year and the temperature was perfect, it was a little chilly but with really nice winter sun, cooling down a lot in the evening. Kuwaiti’s love the winter.

The best months to visit Kuwait are Autumn and Spring.

Hotels in Kuwait.

There are no hostels in Kuwait which is a shame and I’m sure puts travellers off visiting. There is also limited budget accommodation in Kuwait too, you are not likely to get anything less than £50.00 plus taxis per night, but here are some hotels in Kuwait I would recommend based on their location in Kuwait City. I would say that Downtown Kuwait is best so you can do this Kuwait itinerary and see these Kuwait tourist attractions:

Hotels in Downtown Kuwait

City Tower Hotel – $

Vera House & Hotel – $

Ibis Sharq – $$

Residence Inn by Marriott Kuwait – $$

Adam’s Hotel – $$$

Four Points by Sheraton Kuwait – $$$

To visit Kuwait on a budget, and to get a better look at local life, I recommend Couch Surfing in Kuwait.

Hope you're fine

I was looking for some information about how is Kuwait and places to visit during Eid al-Fitr 2023 and I was wondering if you could help me. I'm not muslin and I just want to visit the country and the tourist places. Do you think them will be open during Eid? Do you think is a good time to visit the country?

TheWanderingQuinn

Hello, thank you for reading my post. Yes, I think Kuwait will be fine to visit during Ramadan as there are so many expats and non-Muslims who live there all year round so many food places and attractions are open. You may find some places have shorter opening hours during the day than outside of Ramadan but the plus to that is the so much will be open and alive in the evening so I'd suggest to plan your days around being out in the evening and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it :)

Thursday 6th of February 2020

Thank you so much for the recommendations. I’m building up my itinerary for my 2 day trip here. Your YouTube video has so far been the most informative and interesting that I have watched so far!

Sunday 9th of February 2020

Hello Aysha! Thank you for letting me know, I'm so pleased to hear that! Have a great time there!

Kuwait Food

When you travel to Kuwait, you want to know more about it, to explore its culture and history, taste the food locals eat, go to the places locals go, see how they live, or in other words, you want to feel what it is like to be local. Food Tours are a vehicle for a city’s culture. What locals eat, when, where and how much is a window into their every day and therefore, into the country’s way of life.

Several museums in Kuwait showcase the country’s history, its art, artifacts, archeological findings and even information on the Gulf War. However, there is one exceptional museum that stands out for its depiction of the exquisiteness and custom encompassed in Bedouin crafts, namely Sadu weaving. The Sadu House is a beautiful, traditional Kuwaiti styled house where visitors can discover the Bedouin art of weaving, its styles and history. Located right next to the National Museum of Kuwait on the Gulf Road, Bait Al Sadu (Sadu House) was formerly an old Kuwaiti house that’s been converted into a cultural center.

Souk Al-Mubarakiya

It is one of the oldest souqs in Kuwait, and was the center of trade prior to the discovery of oil. You can spend hours in this market strolling around and discovering reasonable bargains on heritage goods such as Persian silk carpets, real Arab antiques, perfumes like musk and oud, and traditional costumes. This place is perfect whether you want to shop, eat, or for sightseeing. Al-Mubarakiya features a variety of shops such as dates, honey, spices, sweets, vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. In addition to a range of shops accessories, gold and silver jewelries. The market also hosts two mini museums: Sheikh Mubarak Kiosk and the first Islamic pharmacy in Kuwait

Grand Mosque

The Grand Mosque is the biggest and the official Mosque of Kuwait which means that official religious celebrations are held in this mosque only. Locals refer to it as Al-Masjid Al-Kabir with total area of 46,000 square meters (490,000 sq ft), in that the building itself covers 20,000 square meters (220,000 sq ft). The Grand mosque is internationally renowned for its Islamic architecture and it has become one of Kuwait's most treasured landmarks. Indeed, the builders and designers have put a lot of effort in creating this mosque starting the project way back in 1979 and finally completing it seven years later in 1986 at a cost of about KD 14 million. Grand Mosque is popular for its prayer arrangement during the last 10 days of Ramadan. Thousands of Muslims gather during last 10 days of Ramadan.

Kuwait Towers

Kuwait Towers is a group of three slender towers that symbolizes Kuwait’s economic resurgence and also World cultural as well as touristic landmark. The structure is often referred to as Kuwait tower in singular although there are three towers. Standing on a promontory into the Arabian Gulf, Kuwait towers were officially inaugurated in 1979 and are rated as a tourist attraction and iconic building of modern Kuwait.o hosts two mini museums: Sheikh Mubarak Kiosk and the first Islamic pharmacy in Kuwait

Alseif Palace

The Seif Palace is popular among local and overseas visitors as the home of the royal family. Nevertheless, they might be surprised to find out that this palace does not get much used by the Monarch and the government. While it is true that this palace is designated to the Emir dynasty, the household personally chose to stay in Bayan Palace which is known as the official house of the Emir and this is also the place where the monarch would entertain his dignitaries. Therefore, the Seif palace only serves as the court if there are special celebrations and events, or if the Bayan Palace is not available. However, thousands of travelers every year go to see this fine building.

Ahmad Al-Jaber Oil & Gas Exhibition

The Ahmad Al-Jaber Oil & Gas Exhibition plays an important role for KOC by telling the history of oil, both in the State of Kuwait and throughout the world. From the formation of oil to its discovery and all of the ways that oil products help, make our lives better. The exhibition serves to answer any questions the public may have about oil and gas and the important functions they play in our modern lives.The original Display Center in Ahmadi has played a very important role in the history of Kuwait Oil Company. For decades, delegations from around the world were taken to the Display Center as part of their visit to KOC. In addition to being an excellent source of information for matters related to the oil industry, the original Display Center has been a source of great pride for the Company, for it is where the public could come to learn about the important role KOC plays for the State of Kuwait.

Al Qurain Martyrs Museum

The Al-Qurain Martyrs' Museum exists of three neighboring villas. On 24 February 1991, 19 young Kuwaiti men from the "Messila" resistance group had armed themselves and were preparing a strike against the invading Iraqi army. While the men were discussing their plan, an Iraqi patrol unit was in the area and eventually checked on one of the three houses in which the resistance group congregated. The two sides then engaged in a ten-hour battle. Heavily outnumbered and underarmed, the Kuwaiti men were eventually defeated by Iraqi tanks and soldiers. Of the nineteen men, seven were severely wounded and twelve died.

Al Shaheed Park

Al Shaheed park, located on the periphery of Kuwait city, narrates the story of a land, its history and culture. The park consists of 200,000 m2 of greenery, featuring beautiful botanical gardens, two museums - Thekra & the Habitat, a visitor center, a lake, walkways and jogging tracks, making it the largest urban park in Kuwait.By visiting the Habitat - a museum dedicated to the environment and bird migration in Kuwait, the visitors learn more about the different ecosystems, migratory birds and the effects of pollution through interactive learning stations. In addition to the museum, a Bird Aviary was built outside of the Habitat to provide a resting area for the numerous migrating birds in Kuwait. By doing so, visitors also get a chance to view these different kinds of birds as they stop by to rest during their journey. 

Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Center

The Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Centre is a multidisciplinary public space striving to entertain, educate and inspire the people of Kuwait. It will offer a range of events – in music, theatre, film, workshops and spoken word – for every generation and sector of society.Complex, geometric forms inspired by Islamic architecture form the richly textured outer skin of each building of the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Center, creating dramatic public spaces below that are illuminated by the interaction of light and shadow. Luxurious, world class buildings below the outer skin exude character and drama, inviting passers-by to wander its majestic space. The wonders continue inside each building and visitors will find jewels within jewels as they explore the beautifully designed interiors.

Deep Sea Fishing in Arabian Gulf

Deep Sea Fishing is one of the most popular outdoor things to do in Kuwait City, especially for those who love to be out on the water and adventure. Fish for flounder, fluke, striped bass, bluefish, porgy, blackfish, and even weakfish.A fishing trip acts as a great stress buster, enabling you to escape your routine pressures while enjoying fresh air amid spectacular new scenery. Although it's a relatively gentle outdoor pursuit, fishing helps burn up calories and keeps fitness levels up.

Failaka Island

Failaka Island is one among the most visited tourist destinations in Kuwait. Located along the northern part of Arabian Gulf, and located 20kms away from Kuwait City, and situated opposite to the Failaka Bay, the area covers 24 square kilometers of area, and is one of the most important islands in Kuwait. Failaka Island is among the major tourist attractions in Kuwait, and is linked to Kuwait City through submarine pipeline that supplies water to inhabitants of Failaka. Failaka is a magnificent island that easily blends ancient history of Kuwait with gleaming modernity.  The spring season is the best time to visit the Island it is said, due to the gentle breeze, budding flowers, vibrant flora, changing temperature and pleasant weather conditions.

The fort was the location of the Battle of Jahra in 1920.The four towers are built with bricks made from mud mixed with local desert shrubs. The towers were designed to give infantrymen a view and line of fire in all directions. The walls around the fort house firing holes for infantrymen and sharpshooters. The fort is almost square, surrounded by a wall about 15 feet high and 2 feet thick, and houses thirty-three rooms and six courtyards.

The Dicksons moved into the house in 1929, and the building served as the British political agency until 1935.

Explore the GCC with the Grand Tours Visa: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Oman & Bahrain

In a significant development for the Gulf region, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has unveiled plans for a unified tourist visa that will facilitate travel across its member states.

This new initiative, named the “GCC Grand Tours,” is set to become operational by the end of 2024, offering travelers the opportunity to explore all six Gulf countries with ease.

The announcement was made by the United Arab Emirates Minister of Economy, Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, during the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), signaling a concerted effort to enhance tourism in the region.

The introduction of the GCC Grand Tours visa aims to simplify travel procedures and promote economic growth through increased tourism activity.

One of the primary objectives of the GCC Grand Tours visa is to unleash the full tourism potential of the Gulf region. With its diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and modern attractions, the Gulf has much to offer to travelers from around the world.

By allowing visitors to explore multiple countries within a single trip, the unified visa is expected to attract a record number of tourists.

Authorities in the UAE have projected that the GCC Grand Tours visa could lead to a substantial increase in visitor numbers, with estimates reaching 128.7 million by 2030.

The implementation of the Gulf Schengen is set to enhance regional connectivity and strengthen ties among member states. By facilitating seamless travel, the unified visa will promote greater interaction and collaboration across various sectors, including tourism, trade, and investment.

Moreover, it will position the Gulf region as a premier destination for travelers seeking diverse experiences and authentic cultural encounters.

The GCC Grand Tours visa represents a major step toward enhanced integration and prosperity in the Gulf region. By streamlining travel procedures and tapping into the tourism potential of its member states, the Gulf Cooperation Council is paving the path for a brighter future with ample opportunities for growth and development.

The advantages of solo travel with group tour operators.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Solo travel is on the rise.

Traveling solo is a profoundly liberating experience. It offers the freedom to explore at one's own pace, delve into personal interests, and embrace new cultures without compromise. However, navigating international destinations alone can sometimes be daunting. This is where group tour operators come in, providing a structured yet flexible travel experience that ensures safety, companionship, and deep cultural immersion. Trafalgar Tours is one operator that attracts a large number of solo travelers.

The Benefits of Group Tours for Solo Travelers

Traveling solo, but with a tour operator, provides comfort and security.

1. Safety and Security:

Traveling solo can occasionally raise concerns about personal safety, especially in unfamiliar territories. Group tours offer the reassurance of a structured itinerary, professional guides, and a group of fellow travelers. This structure minimizes the risks associated with solo travel, such as getting lost or encountering unsafe situations.

Travelers make meaningful connections with other travelers when on a group tour.

2. Social Interaction and Companionship:

One of the challenges of solo travel is the potential for loneliness. Group tours provide an instant social network of like-minded travelers. This social aspect can enrich the travel experience, fostering new friendships and shared memories. For solo travelers, this means not only having companions to share the journey with but also the chance to connect deeply with people from diverse backgrounds.

3. Expert Guidance and Local Insights:

Group tours are typically led by knowledgeable guides who are experts in the local culture, history, and geography. This expertise provides solo travelers with valuable insights that might be missed when traveling independently. Guides can offer recommendations, translate languages, and navigate cultural nuances, enhancing the overall travel experience.

4. Convenience and Peace of Mind:

Planning an international trip can be overwhelming, with logistics, accommodations, and activities to organize. Group tour operators handle these details, allowing solo travelers to focus on enjoying their trip. This convenience is particularly beneficial for those new to solo travel or visiting a country with complex logistics.

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024, the appeal of shoulder season travel.

The appeal of shoulder season is cheaper tours, less crowds but still plenty of fun.

Booking a tour during the shoulder season—the period between peak and off-peak seasons—has distinct advantages, especially for solo travelers. Tour operators have more availability and the group size is smaller—in some cases half the size—during shoulder season.

1. Fewer Crowds:

Shoulder season typically sees fewer tourists compared to the peak season. This means less crowded attractions, more personal space, and a more relaxed travel experience. Solo travelers can enjoy popular sites without the overwhelming crowds, making it easier to connect with the destination and fellow travelers.

2. Better Value:

Traveling during the shoulder season often means lower prices for flights, accommodations, and tours. Group tour operators, including Trafalgar, may offer discounts or special deals during these times, making it a cost-effective option for solo travelers.

3. Pleasant Weather:

Shoulder seasons often offer milder weather, avoiding the extremes of summer heat or winter cold. For instance, traveling to Vietnam in the shoulder season means pleasant temperatures, making outdoor activities more enjoyable.

Picking a Destination

Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in northern Vietnam.

There are so many places to go, but for many travelers it’s hard to narrow down the list. For solo travelers, picking a far-flung local like Asia, is appealing because it’s something many people want to do but it seems daunting to go so far alone. One of Trafalgar’s most popular itineraries in Asia is Vietnam.

1. Immersive Cultural Experiences:

Trafalgar’s Vietnam tour is designed to provide deep cultural immersion. Travelers have the opportunity to explore bustling cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, visit historical sites such as the Cu Chi Tunnels, and experience the serene beauty of Halong Bay. These experiences are enriched by knowledgeable guides who share the stories behind each destination.

Hoi An in Vietnam is a favorite city for many travelers because it's so picturesque.

2. Unique Insider Experiences:

One of Trafalgar’s standout features is its “Be My Guest” experiences, where travelers are invited into the homes of local families to share a meal and learn about their way of life.

3. Hassle-Free Travel:

Trafalgar takes care of all the logistics, from accommodations to transportation and activities. For solo travelers, this means less time worrying about details and more time enjoying the journey. Accommodations are selected for their quality and location, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout the trip.

4. Social Atmosphere:

The group dynamic on Trafalgar tours fosters a sense of community. Solo travelers are welcomed into a friendly, inclusive environment where connections are easily made. Whether sharing a meal, exploring a market, or enjoying a guided tour, the shared experiences create lasting bonds.

5. Flexible Options for Solo Travelers:

Trafalgar understands the needs of solo travelers and offers options like single room supplements to ensure privacy and comfort. Additionally, their small group tours are ideal for those who prefer a more intimate travel experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cemetery tours are popular in New Orleans because cemeteries here are unlike most cemeteries in the U.S. Many of the departed are buried above ground in tombs that range from simple to ornate. Plus, these sites are reportedly haunted, making cemeteries all the more popular with ghost hunters.

There are some cemeteries you can visit on your own. Others, such as St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, can only be viewed on an official tour. It's a good idea to find out whether your cemetery requires a tour guide before your visit; call the cemetery or speak with your hotel's concierge.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the most famous cemetery in the city. In part, this is because of the numerous important figures buried here. It's also the oldest existing cemetery in New Orleans; in fact, people are still laid to rest here each year.

Voodoo practitioner Marie Laveau, activist Homer Plessy, writer Anne Rice and Popeyes founder Al Copeland are just a few of the celebrities buried in the most famous cemeteries in New Orleans. There are other famous individuals (such as politician Huey Long and musician Fats Domino) who are buried in other sites around the city. Actor Nicolas Cage will also be buried here; he has already built a pyramid tomb for himself in St. Louis Cemetery No 1.
