Hi guys
My name is Njabulo from South Africa
I'll be moving to Riyadh in 2 months and I'm not sure what to pack. I read that most of the time (if not all) I'll be wearing an Abaya and the temperatures are very high there, so what exactly do I need to pack?
What are they likely not to have that we have in South Africa?
Is there a need for jackets and boots?
I'll be working at King Fahad and I'm not sure of the compound yet. What is available at the compounds?

I’m moving too, and I had the exact same question! I don’t wanna pack too much because it’s difficult on a long haul flight - just the necessities. Let me know!
