Hello,

We are moving to Jubail and are allowed 300 pounds of shipped household items. I will be packing for myself and my husband.

Are appliances like electric mixers and food processors hard to find, or more expensive in Jubail?
As the cook my kitchen items are important shall I bring all the kitchen gadgets or can I purchase them there easily?

Also, if I travel outside of the Kingdom can I purchase items elsewhere for our personal use and bring them into the KSA?

Thank you,

Holly

Hi again Holly, electric appliances are not difficult to get - except maybe for some specialty brands. Google "Extra Store Saudi" and have a look at the range they have in their online store - they will have the typical range/brand that you would expect to find around here.

Maybe you want to consider bringing along some of your go-to appliances, and purchase the rest here? Anyhow, it is possible to purchase appliances and bring them into Saudi when you are traveling outside.

So in conclusion - you will be up-and-running as the cook in no time!

Thank you for your expanded reply Mr. Musman! My husband will be there soon. I look forward to joining him soonest! Your advice makes it easier to anticipate what we need to bring, and it sounds like most all can be acquired there. I am quite resourceful usually so it adds to the fun of a new experience.
Cheers! Ron and Holly
