What should I pack when moving to Al Lith?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Al Lith, 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 in breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Women should pack abayas, a traditional black cloak, and headscarves to cover their hair in public. Men should pack long pants and shirts with sleeves. In addition to clothing, pack personal care items like sunscreen, moisturizer, and lip balm to protect your skin from the harsh sun. Prescription medications and a basic first aid kit are also essential. Don't forget to pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary medical records. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, just in case. Electronics like your laptop, phone, and chargers should also be packed. If you plan on using your electronics from home, you may need to bring a power adapter as Saudi Arabia uses a different plug type and voltage. Pack some of your favorite non-perishable snacks from home, as they may not be available in Al Lith. However, keep in mind that Saudi Arabia has strict rules about what can be imported, so check the customs regulations before you pack food items. Lastly, consider packing items that will help you feel at home in your new surroundings, such as photos of loved ones, a favorite book, or a cherished piece of decor," said a member in Al Lith, Saudi Arabia.
