What do I need to know before moving to Abidjan?

"Before moving to Abidjan, expats should be aware that French is the official language, so it is important to have a basic understanding of the language. Additionally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Abidjan is relatively high, so it is important to budget accordingly. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and culture, as well as the security situation in the city. Finally, expats should research the availability of healthcare and other services in the city before moving," said another expat in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
