Moving to BAE Sara Compound soon

Post new topic

Pete K 1969

Hello,

I am in the final stages of getting a job with BAE and will be moving to Sara Compound to live. I have tried to get as much information on what to bring with me but the answers I have received are fairly vague.

I believe I will be provided with a 2 bed apartment, which is furnished, but do I need to bring kitchenware, towels, bedding etc. This is a completely new experience for me and any help I receive will be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Pete,

You will be provided bedding and ample furniture, the kitchen more than likely won't have cutlery but you will have oven, toaster, kettle, microwave etc.

Definitely bring towels and toiletries, none of that will be provided, easier yet, buy them all from the large supermarket on compound.

Thank you for the information, I guess things are reasonably priced there. I assume pans and things are provided?

Sorry if I ask more stupid questions but will I need to buy an iron etc, the more I know beforehand I can then budget for it all.

Hello Pete,

You can check those Hypermarkets online to know about prices, I think they provide apps for shopping as well.
