What should I pack when moving to Yas Island?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Yas Island, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the hot and humid climate. Include a mix of casual and formal wear, as the UAE has a vibrant nightlife and a strong business culture. Remember to pack modest clothing as well, respecting the local customs and traditions. Don't forget to pack your swimwear, as Yas Island has beautiful beaches and a water park. Also, pack your sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat to protect yourself from the intense sun. Bring all necessary documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any work-related documents. It's also a good idea to have copies of these important documents. Pack your electronics, including your laptop, phone, chargers, and an adapter as the UAE uses a different plug type. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with the prescription itself. It's also wise to pack a basic first aid kit. Don't forget your toiletries, although keep in mind that most things can be bought there. Lastly, pack some comfort items from home, like photos or favorite snacks, to help you settle into your new home," remarked another expat who made the move to Yas Island, the UAE.
