What do you wish you would have brought from home?
We have just interviewed for a position in Qatar, and if favorable, then expect to be moving there in a few months. Is there anything you wish you would have brought from home, either because it is so expensive there or difficult to find?
For example, I just saw a post on silicone caulk (I guess hard to find?), but how about electronics (I know the voltage is different), food items (can I get Miracle Whip and Velvetta cheese there? LOL), clothes (are they super expensive or limited choices?), books, kids toys, etc...
Bring every personal item you have space for. Everything is here but way too expensive. Bring your favorite clothes, pictures (especially art), books and specialized skin products.
The only thing we have not found is flat CORN tortillas, the kind you use to make quesadillas. My husband is Mexican and used to eat this several times a week but now he can't... people say they are in Dubai and once in awhile you will see them in a store but in 3 weeks we have not found them. It is crazy little thing.
Basically I think everything is here if you are not super picky about brand. Like I am not sure if you can get Miracle Whip (I think Megamart has it) but there are plenty of similar products.
