Packing Advice for KSA by MOJO1

Hi All I am due to travel to Jeddah next week for a new asignment. I just wanted some advice on essentials based on experience. Is it worth bringing more than a couple of suits due to the weather? What else would you reccomend? Many Thanks

travel lite - buy ur stuff here - its cheaper. also, this time of the year - a suit can be worn without drenching it in sweat. don't bring anything woolen or padded - u won't need it here ;) Read More
