An Expat Talks about Moving to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Jeddah

Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.

When moving to Jeddah, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack light, breathable clothing that will keep you cool in the hot, humid climate. Bring a scarf or shawl to cover your head and shoulders when visiting religious sites. Bring a variety of toiletries, including sunscreen, insect repellent, and any medications you may need. Pack a few books or magazines to help pass the time, as well as a laptop or tablet to stay connected with family and friends. Finally, don't forget to bring a valid passport and any necessary visas.
