2 questions....

LJanetR

What did you bring from home that you did not need?

What item did you forget/didnt think to bring that you wished you had?

Going to live in a foreign country with 25kg of luggage to pack is freaking me out.

get a courier company to ship your luggage.. there is no way you can pack everything on the in the 25 Kg allowance...

about the bedding.. depending on what you are looking for, you can find almost anything there.. feathered, goose, duck :P

thanks so much I will do

some people will not agree with me but I'd say you can get everything you need in Saudi.

Remember they have most western shops here like M&S, Debenhams, Carefour, Mothercare, H&M, etc, etc. So if all else fails you will be able to buy western stuff here.

I personally only brought some clothes, laptop, phone and few pairs of shoes. EVERYTHING else I have bought locally.

Don't worry!
