What should I pack when moving to Al Ula?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Al Ula, it's important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the hot desert climate. However, remember to respect the local customs and dress modestly, covering your shoulders and knees. Women should also pack an abaya, a traditional black cloak, to wear in public. Pack a good quality sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the intense sun. Also, consider packing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring along your necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack toiletries, as some specific brands might not be available. Don't forget your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. It's also recommended to have copies of these documents. Pack your electronics like your laptop, phone, chargers, and an adapter as the plug type in Saudi Arabia might be different from your home country. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair along with your prescription. Bring some home comforts like photos, favorite snacks, or books to help you settle in your new home. Pack a phrasebook or dictionary to help you with the local language, Arabic. Lastly, don't forget to pack your patience and open-mindedness. Moving to a new country with a different culture can be challenging, but also a great adventure," said another expat in Al Ula, Saudi Arabia.
