"When moving to Riyadh, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack light, breathable clothing that covers your arms and legs, as well as a scarf or shawl to cover your head. Bring comfortable shoes that are suitable for walking in the desert heat. Sunscreen and sunglasses are also essential for protection from the sun. Additionally, it is important to bring a few items that will help you feel at home, such as pictures of family and friends, books, and music.
