What should I pack when moving to Sharjah?
We asked people living in Sharjah to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Sharjah, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack light, breathable clothing that will keep you cool in the hot, humid climate. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a scarf or shawl to cover your head and shoulders when visiting religious sites. Pack comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the city. Bring a few items of your own culture to remind you of home. Don't forget to bring your passport and other important documents. Finally, make sure to bring a good supply of sunscreen and insect repellent," said another expat in Sharjah, the UAE.
