Default Moving to Saudi Arabia

Moving to Saudi Arabia is not like just any other international move; the relatively strict and properly documented formalities have often been found to be difficult to follow for shipping operators who are new to moving in this sector. Having ample experience dealing with the ways and method of operation of the customs authority officials at Saudi Arabia, we will be more than pleased to assist you with our specialized services so as to help you in your move to Saudi Arabia. The first of these is providing you with a rough estimate of the amount that you must set aside for shipping your belongings to Saudi Arabia – absolutely free of cost! All that you need to do is arrive at an approximate volume of the goods that you intend to take along with you when you relocate to Saudi Arabia.

Hi. Just noticed that you'll be moving to Saudi from the US. You may want to contact one of the American expat groups in Saudi. FAWCO (the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas) has a group there. More info here: FAWCO - AW of the Eastern Province (Saudi Arabia)
Cheers,
Bev

I'd like advice about what personal goods and small household items to BRING to Saudi Arabia when I report for work in September, 2009. I'll buy furniture and household appliances when I arrive. I'm an experienced expat (single, male) and don't need to bring my personal blender, bicycle, etc. - I'll acquire what I need there - but are there consumer goods I can't get in SA that I will want to bring (laptop, vitamins, aspirin)? Anything I should NOT pack (other than the obvious: porn, drugs, alcohol)?

Can you please post contact info for expat groups in Riyadh? Other local info resources?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stephen,

Can you rephrase your question so that you might get good responses. Are you asking the question about shipping of goods in to Saudi or asking a general question of what to bring ? depending on the query it would be helpful for members to respond.

Regards, Sahana
