What should I pack when moving to Saudi Arabia?

"I wish I had brought: 1)More toiletry items from the states. There is a much better selection and better prices," remarked another expat who made the move to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
"I wish i bought more Barry's Tea :), books and music ..... I wish i left half my clothes at home SHOPPING IS ACE OVER HERE," explained one expat living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
