Surely your school can advise you? Will someone give you the contact info of an expat teacher already there?

From my experience in the Middle East as a resident and visitor in several countries, the safest route is to cover knees, shoulders, and cleavage. Avoid belts or tucked-in blouses; loose tops that disguise the contours of your waist and hips are safest. If you wear a skirt or dress, your knees should not be visible when you sit. Sleeves should be at least halfway to the elbow or longer; avoid cap sleeves. If there is any suggestion of cleavage visible, or someone can see down your blouse if you're sitting, then the top is too low. A top that's within an inch or two of your clavicle is safe.

Until you get there and can actually see what people are wearing, you should err on the side of conservative.
