Salary advice and housing

I've just been given a job offer to work in Riyadh next month and they have stated that instead of separate payments for housing travel, etc I should combine it into one salary payment. Any ideas what the rough cost of a 3 bedroom place is in compound so that I have some idea of what to ask for and are there any other costs I should factor in? TIA

Prices are going down a bit these days, and it depends on location, but you should plan for 120k SAR per year for a 3 bed option in a decent compound

A 3 BHK in any decent compound would cost you a minimum of 150k/year and that's the lower end of the range. Goto: www.rightcompound.com to check out the prices for some of the compounds.

Education is fairly expensive if you decide to send your children to an international school. It could be upwards of 50k/year/child. Prices are in Saudi Riyals.
