What should I pack when moving to Al-Ahsa?

"When moving to Al-Ahsa, it's important to pack clothing that is both respectful of the local culture and suitable for the hot desert climate. This includes loose, lightweight clothing in breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Women should pack abayas, a traditional black cloak, and headscarves to cover their hair in public. Men should avoid wearing shorts in public. Pack a good supply of high-factor sunscreen, as the sun can be very strong. Also, bring a high-quality pair of sunglasses and a hat to protect your eyes and face from the sun. Bring all necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack a supply of over-the-counter remedies for common issues like headaches, upset stomach, and allergies, as these may be difficult to find. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. Make sure to have both digital and physical copies of these documents. Bring your electronic devices, such as your smartphone, laptop, and e-reader, as well as the necessary chargers and adapters. Saudi Arabia uses type G plugs, so you may need a plug adapter. Pack toiletries, including toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, shampoo, and soap. While these items are available in Saudi Arabia, you may prefer to bring your own, especially if you have specific brands you like. Bring some home comforts, such as photos, favorite snacks, or small mementos, to help make your new place feel more like home. Lastly, pack a phrasebook or download a language app to help you communicate in Arabic, as English is not widely spoken in Al-Ahsa," remarked another expat who made the move to Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.
