Hi Vipin,

The cost of living in Saudi Arabia is moderate. There are a few things you will need to consider. Accommodation is your biggest expense and expats living on compounds pay at least SAR 2,500 per month for a place. In terms of transportation, you will probably need to get a car, but luckily petrol is cheap in Saudi Arabia. It is also good that school fees are covered in your offer.School fees are high especially at international schools and you can expect to pay between SAR 35,000 and SAR 75,000 per year.

Hope this helps.
