What should I pack when moving to Al Qunfudhah?
We asked people living in Al Qunfudhah to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Al Qunfudhah, it's important to pack clothing that is both respectful of the local culture and suitable for the hot desert climate. This includes loose, lightweight clothing that covers your arms and legs, as well as a headscarf if you're a woman. You should also pack a good supply of sunscreen, as the sun can be very strong. A pair of sunglasses and a hat can also be useful for protecting your eyes and face from the sun. In terms of electronics, don't forget to pack a power adapter that fits the local sockets. You may also want to bring a good quality camera to capture the beautiful local scenery. If you take any prescription medications, be sure to bring enough to last for your entire stay, as it may be difficult to find the same medication locally. You should also pack some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, soap, and shampoo, as well as any other personal care items you use regularly. Finally, don't forget to bring important documents such as your passport, visa, and any other identification or paperwork you may need. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case the originals are lost or stolen. Remember to pack some local currency for immediate expenses upon arrival, and a credit or debit card for emergencies. You might also want to bring some comfort items from home, such as your favorite snacks or books, to help you settle into your new surroundings. Lastly, pack a good attitude and an open mind, as moving to a new country can be a challenging but rewarding experience," wrote a member who made the move to Al Qunfudhah, Saudi Arabia.
