What would you take . . . ?

[DebsyDoo]

Hi all ! We've just heard of a possible job opportunity - doing a delivery to Saudi Arabia !!! If it comes off, it would be a really interesting experience I'm sure, but what stuff do you think would be needed - in addition to all the usual "cr@p" we have to take for the Gib run ? What extra's, or neccessities would you take ? (It's a 4+ week run)

[legendis.god]

You will find the major cities e.g Jedha, Daharan, to a lesser extent Riyadh, very westernised and everything you would get in a European city you will get in Saudi Arabia.

Of course don't take alcohol or pornography into the country.

What necessities have you in mind?

[DebsyDoo]

At last !! a sensible response - thankyou Squaddie !

Don't really know too much about the job yet, other than it's a general haulage delivery (not sure to where in Saudi) but as never done the middle east - not quite sure what to expect !
I think that it'll probably be part ferry (due to the cost) rather than totally overland, but I assume that unlike mainland Europe (of which we've quite a wide experience) facilities will be fewer & farther apart - so stuff, like the basics & anything that will make it a more "comfortable" journey !

[sqad617]

Debsy...still not sure what you want.

Preumably you will come overland through Turkey, Jordan and into Saudia Arabia. You will be surprised how good road facilities are.

Which part of Saudi Arabia are you travelling to?

[DebsyDoo]

As I said, not sure of actual destination, or even if is same one each time !
I dunno if is totally overland, or by ferry from either Brindisi, Patras or Pireaus.
Anything out of the ordinary that you wouldn't normally expect to have to take for a delivery to anywhere in say, the main parts of Europe !
Lots of insect repellant, immodium & . . . . . . . ?

[theonlyone]

Sad person ...you donkeykebab ...

[DebsyDoo]

Excuse me . . .WTF R U on ?

[sqad617]

Deb......the only thing that you will need is plenty of bottles of water. Also go to your GP and ask for packets of rehydration powder that can be reconstituted in the event of diarhoea.

Anything else that you can think of?

[sqad617]

deb...futher thoughts:

Paracetamol
Amoxycillin
Perchllorperazine.....fo feeling sick.
