The salary is low, but if we see the recession around us we have to accept this offer, Byhe way what position in the company and where you going to stay in saudi arabia? Are you coming to saudi arabia on job visa or other visa? it matters my dear pls reply me. or can call me in saudi arabia +966-542761841 for more information. It depends on the city and area, if you are coming to Jeddah,Riyadh,Mecca,Medina then you no need to pay high rent if you are coming to Eastern proveince like,Dammam,Al-khobar,Al-jubail then you have to pay high amount,its different rentals, food stuff is little bit expensive here as we compare to other cities.but can survive in this salary but hard to save. Local transport is ok manageable

thats about 10,088sr per mo.. which really isnt that bad for a bachelor.. I dont know what the first poster thought.. you didnt tell us what your nationality is or what the job is and what your qualifications are.. Saudi has work/trade agreements with different nations.. for example an engineer from USA will obviously be paid much more than an engineer from India in exactly the same position.. but still I think 10,088 Riyals a month is excellent starting pay..

no ,, if accommodation and flights you will pay for they are cheating you .
