Not quite low mate, Is very low for a Qualified Doctor !!

@ mahesarthegreat, I guess you should do a more of homework on the salary offered in the same field. Good Luck

1.Tell me about Al-Qassim

2.My husband will accompany with me,he is basically a banker by profession having more then 7 years experience so what are his chances to get a job there?

3.He will be on Family visa so if he gets a job offer there will he have to exit and re-enter or it will change at there?

Kindly need advice before making serious decision....!

well few persons are saying that as a start its ok in terms of salary and as you will spend some time later you can get more...what are the chances for that?

Of course, if you keep working for the same employer, your salary won't change much, if at all.  However, after finishing your contract there, you can find a job in a medical facility in one of the big cities, and get better pay.  How much better, no one can say, but surely it must be more than the peanuts the MOH is offering you now.

Qassim the name of the province.  Which city will you be based in?  I assume Buraydah?  Did you find info about Qassim Province or Buraydah, the capital of the province?  I am only posting wiki links, but you should do a google search for more info and pics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buraydahhttp://wikitravel.org/en/Buraydahhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qassim_Province

Here are some facts and superlatives about Buraydah and Qassim:

1) Most conservative (I would say 'backward'***) region of the country, and that's saying a lot considering the country itself is quite conservative/backward.

2) Largest date producer in the country, and one of the largest in the world.

3) Largest camel market in the world.

4) Unaizah, the 2nd largest city of the province, is not ruled by the Saudi royal family, rather by the Al-Sulaim dynasty.  See wikipedia link for details.

*** Note, I am using the word 'backward' with reference to people's thinking, not necessarily with reference to infrastructure or amenities.  Having said that, all the cities in Qassim are small towns, and therefore, won't have all the amenities and comforts you will find in the big cities.
