What should I pack when moving to Dammam?

"When moving to Dammam, it's important to pack clothing that is both modest and suitable for the hot desert climate. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing made from natural fibers like cotton or linen is recommended. Women should pack abayas, a traditional black cloak, to wear in public, as well as headscarves. It's also a good idea to pack a good supply of any prescription medications you take, along with a copy of your prescription. While Saudi Arabia has a good healthcare system, it may take time to find a local doctor and pharmacy. Don't forget to pack personal hygiene items, as some Western brands may not be readily available. This includes items like deodorant, toothpaste, and feminine hygiene products. Pack a good quality sunscreen, as the sun can be very strong in Saudi Arabia. A hat and sunglasses will also help protect you from the sun. Bring along a good pair of comfortable walking shoes, as you may do a lot of walking. If you enjoy reading, consider bringing a few books with you, as English-language books can be hard to find. Lastly, pack a few items to remind you of home. This could be photos of family and friends, favorite snacks, or anything else that brings you comfort," remarked another expat in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
