How much a living cost in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia?

Bayu Kusuma

Dear all,


My name is Bayu and I'm from Indonesia. I hope my message finds you doing well.


I just received a salary offer from a company operating in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). The salary that they offered to me is 13,313 SAR (consisting of basic salary + housing allowance + transportation allowance). In addition, I also receive health insurance, an accommodation allowance for round-trip airfare to my home country, and an education allowance of 15,000 SAR.


The education allowance can only be disbursed when the child starts school.


Currently, I am married, and my wife is expecting our first child.


My question, is that offer sufficient to live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia?
