Excellent, plenty of money to save!

Answer 5

ya it's more than enough, and ur saving will vary if you'll have a family here or not, as a single ur daily expensis (groceries, dine out and billing) should not exceed 1500 SR/month, if you have a family expensis will double up. if u'll have a child here in a private school u should have a budget for that also.

Answer 6

if u feel it is fair for you  to come to saudi arabia  based on your previuous emplymenet and  privious experience

13000 sar with accomodation is exevellent as a package.

your daily expenses will not exceed 3000 sar ( groceries , food , internet , bills , medical visist coasts .....  )

and i  think that 3000 is a bit high number u will be have food out twice per day. this number is estimated for 1 single person ...

best of luck

welocme to saudi arabia
