The incident was sparked when the man uploaded a video on the social media app TikTok.
He can be heard complaining about the blinding sandstorm that has engulfed Kuwait for the past few days.
"I'm inside a dust storm right now, I literally can't see anything in front of me," the man says, showing the dust coating the highway like a thick fog.
"Fine, Kuwait, fine," he said, adding an expletive.
The video went viral on Twitter with tens of thousands of views.
