Hi

Riyadh

Michael

meal 15 to 40 per meal
taxi 20=50 may increase depending on where your going
i dont smoke .

First month - you need maybe 500 riyals.
for food and taxi.

Thanks everyone

1000 SAR will be more than enough.

yeah id say 1k sar would suffice, but 1500 would be optimal.  you are going to want to get out and explore im sure

Wellcome To Riyadh

You need to have over 1500.SR
Incase of Any Emergency
i spend almost 80.SR for my Meals some times less sometimes more for standard resturents
On Taxi i spend 40.SR my work is near by.
i dont smoke But... these are my per day calculations

20 cigs are for 9.5 SAR (most good brands) :) calculate as per comsumption.

Thanks everyone

^^^^^^ lol or your welcome might do

IMO you will need at least 1500-2000 SR. Meals will cost you at least 30-40 SR per day. 1 pack of ciggs / day + meals + small chips and drinks + taxi will take you up to about 2000 SR/month. It mostly depends on the habits but with 2000 you're safe.

Smoking is banned in public places. You can carry less now :D
