As salaamu alaikum (or Good Evening to some)

My name is Hanifah and I'm from the USA. I would like to make hijri to Riyadh after I complete nursing school. I have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many questions its almost embarassing... lol! Re: cost of living, working, rent, shopping, traveling etc. However any advice would be greatly appreciated. I hear so many things and saw many videos on-line I just need clarity on what's true and what's not. So I'm open to any advice given from the citizens or those that have came from the USA such as myself.

Shukran (or thanks in advance to some)

Salam,
As per your above list, everything is paid and covered by 95% of the employers except "Shopping". : )

Your rent, utility bills, Transporatation i.e (Car or Driver with a car or May be company's bus), return ticket to ur homeland and Medical is all covered.

So basically your full income is may be for food (if you live outside of company's provided residence), Shopping or Savings.

Things are relatively cheap here, due to No tax at all.

GoodLuck !
