What should I pack when moving to Aqaba?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Aqaba, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, such as cotton and linen, to stay comfortable in the hot and dry climate. Make sure to include modest attire, like long-sleeved shirts and pants, as well as skirts or dresses that cover the knees, to respect the local culture and customs. Don't forget to pack a swimsuit, as Aqaba is known for its beautiful beaches and water activities. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are essential for exploring the city and nearby attractions. Pack any necessary prescription medications, along with a basic first aid kit and over-the-counter medicines for common ailments like headaches and stomach issues. It's also a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Bring essential toiletries, such as toothpaste, shampoo, and soap, as well as any preferred personal care items that may be difficult to find in Aqaba. Don't forget to pack a travel adapter for your electronic devices, as Jordan uses a different plug type than many other countries. Pack important documents, like your passport, visa, and any necessary medical records, in a secure and easily accessible location. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case of loss or theft. Lastly, consider bringing a few items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as photos, small decorations, or a favorite book. This will help you settle into your new environment and make your transition to life in Aqaba a bit easier," said a member in Aqaba, Jordan.
