Moving to KSA for first time

9 years ago
I am taking a university teaching job in Riyadh, and now have to plan moving. Any and all advice gratefully accepted.
What should wife and I bring? What should we bring that it usually wouldn't occur to us to bring? Books & videos?
What should we not bring (alcohol, bibles, I know, but what else?)
Should we ship boxes, or just stick with airplane luggage?
Reputable shipping companies? How much will it cost?
Do they search our computers when we come? Do they confiscate them? How do I bring data files?
What else should we know?
