Hi

I'm heading out to Jeddah next month and will be working at KAMC.  Any advice on home comforts to bring from the UK?

other than that come and enjoy!!!

Hi Milly147

Welcome to the blog, Meds are Ok here as most you can buy over the counter including antibiotics. They fall short of any Pharmacy act in Saudi.

You will need your inhaler/s as the dust will take some getting used to.

Enjoy the sand pit!
