UltraSun has a distributor in the middle east. Call the factory in the USA at 317 280-7000 ask them to give you the closest dist.

Re: tanning salon in Kuwait

i would not open anything in the middle east. the u.s.a. is not exactly well like and respected over there. with the war in iraq and the possibility that the chimp president will attack iran in the not too distant future, the middle east does not give me a warm, touchy feely kind of feeling. plus, those beds are going to cost you a mint. with the dollar being devalued, it takes more of them to buy foreign goods. just the same, good luck.

Re: tanning salon in Kuwait

I have a friend that was stationed in Kuwait and she told me that a huge commodity over there for Kuwaiti women surprisingly is lingerie. The women there are not allowed to wear anything out other then a burka(sp). You would think that they would like to feel good about themselves as much as we do. Its not like they get to take their clothes off and get a tan. I say kudos to you!!!

Re: tanning salon in Kuwait

Why open a tanning salon when the weather never goes below 100F ?

Re: tanning salon in Kuwait

Instead of buying Tanning beds, just lease a building with no roof.... Have them stand naked in rooms and tell them its a stand up. (only open during daylight hours).

She is already in Kuwait.

I just bought a condo in Dubai UAE. Dubai is a totally Americanized Middle East country.
