Cost of living in Ha'il / average salary

Dear all,

I will be moving from Winchester (UK) to Ha'il (KSA) and work at the University of Ha'il as an assistant professor. I am wondering about the cost of living there... Various websites tell me it is not as expensive as Jeddah or Riyadh which I am glad to know. Would a monthly salary of 15,000 SAR (plus housing) be enough for a family of three (kid's smaller than a year). It doesn't sound great at all after conversion to GBP or USD (my countries of origin). Would someone please shed some light on it - is that a good offer or even acceptable? I believe it is tax-free but it still sounds little so thought I would hear from locals and know more about it. Hope to hear from you all...

Cheers,

If the housing is included in your offer than it's an average offer

You have to know if your company is responsible for school fees and childcare, it's expensive, it's your main issu and without it is difficult. The groceries for a family of 3 is between 200 and 400 rial / week. A normal new car between 30,000 and 100,000. A restaurant varies between 15 to 150 / person. I think that 15 000 / month is normal for a small load (max 12h course / week) otherwise it is a little small. But 15,000 is normal I think.

Thank you so much for your quick replies, 3abir and MohammadHajjHassan. How much would renting a 3-bedroom house cost in Ha'il? I have been frantically looking for one online but can't find a reliable link... Any help appreciated.
