What are the Physical features of Kuwait?

Kuwait is a desert. If there was no oil, the place would be among the poorest in the world.

Is it permissible to bring a Bible into Kuwait if you have a Visa?

Answer # 1

That is a question you need to direct toward the State department of the US Federal Government. Muslim countries are usually very strict concerning biblical texts

Answer # 1 ends

Ofcourse you can bring your Bible.

Christianity is quite present in many Middle-Eastern countries, like Iraq and Egypt (although the latter is demographically North-African, you could call it Middle-Eastern from a political perspective). As for Kuwait, Wikipedias state 10-20% of its population is Christian; although I question the reliability of this exact number, it does carry some weight.

On a sidenote, truely Islamic countries deffinitely accept Jesus and Christianity. Iran, for instance, harbours more than 600 churches! (source link attached below)

An exception to this rule of tolerance is Saudi Arabia.

So bring your Bible with you, it's fine.

Will the Iraqi dinar revalue like the Kuwait dinar?

The Iraqi dinar has been in process of change since the issue of the New Iraqi Dinar in late 2004. ....Central Bank of Iraq financial statements indicate that the redemption of the old Saddam dinar and the old swiss dinar came to a total of around 7 trillion dinar. ....Those same financial statements indicate that the Central Bank of Iraq has been expanding the paper currency supply each and every year since then, and the current currency level is well over 32 trillion dinar. ....One must also consider that their current broad money supply is around 70 trillion dinar(the actual amount that must be revalued). .....These actions indicate that the Iraqi dinar is in fact going to go through a re denomination, and possibly then go through a series of revaluations in returning to a place of prominence among its regional currency partners.

...The Kuwaiti dinar was not subject to a grand revaluation back in 1990, but rather the victim of a loss of confidence following the invasion of the country by Saddam Hussein. Savvy speculators did make a nice gain on the currency when the rate returned to its previous levels. ......But many of the tales just don't add up. .....One must take into consideration that even to this day, there are only about 6.5 billion physical Kuwait dinar in existence.
