What should I pack when moving to Al Ain?
We asked people living in Al Ain to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Al Ain, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack light, breathable clothing that will keep you cool in the hot desert climate. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring comfortable shoes for walking in the sand. Bring a few items of traditional clothing to show respect for the local culture. Bring a water bottle and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. Additionally, bring any necessary medications and toiletries. Finally, don't forget to bring your passport and other important documents," wrote a member who made the move to Al Ain, the UAE.
