What should I pack when moving to Saadiyat Island?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Saadiyat Island to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Saadiyat Island, it's important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the hot and humid climate. Traditional clothing such as abayas for women and kanduras for men are also recommended to respect the local culture. Don't forget to pack your swimwear, as the island is known for its beautiful beaches. Pack all your essential documents including passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. It's also a good idea to bring any academic or professional certificates you may need. Bring your electronics such as your laptop, phone, and chargers. An adapter may be necessary as the UAE uses Type G plugs. Pack your toiletries, but remember that most items can be easily purchased there. However, if you have specific brands or products you prefer, it's better to bring them with you. If you're moving with kids, pack their favorite toys, books, and other items to help them feel at home. Don't forget to pack any prescription medications you may need, along with a copy of the prescription. Pack kitchen essentials if you plan on cooking at home, although keep in mind that the UAE has a wide variety of dining options. Lastly, bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, artwork, or favorite books," said another expat in Saadiyat Island, the UAE.
