Walking
If you're in the center of Jahra, walk towards the main road leading to Kuwait City. This is usually Al-Jahra Road. Continue straight for about 5 kilometers until you reach the junction with the Arabian Gulf Road. Turn left onto Arabian Gulf Road. Keep walking for about 2 kilometers, and you will see the National Assembly Parliament building on your right. The Americani Cultural Centre is located directly across the road from Youm al-Bahaar, right at the corner of Arabian Gulf Road and al-Shuhada Street.
Bus
From anywhere in Jahra, head to the nearest bus stop that services routes towards Kuwait City. Board a bus that is heading towards Kuwait City (check for routes that say 'Kuwait City' or 'Al-Jahra to Kuwait City'). Once you are on the bus, inform the driver that you want to get off near the National Assembly building. The bus will take you along Al-Jahra Road to the Arabian Gulf Road. After disembarking, walk towards the Arabian Gulf Road, and you will find The Americani Cultural Centre across from Youm al-Bahaar.
Taxi
You can also take a taxi from your location in Jahra. Simply tell the driver that you want to go to The Americani Cultural Centre across from Youm al-Bahaar by the National Assembly building. The driver will know how to get there. The ride may take around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.
