Hi prashant1973,
You will need to give some more information before we can offer advice.
Is the 3000SAR/month the only benefit? Does the contract offer flights, an iqama, accommodation, or any other expenses?
What is your salary + benefits in your home country?

You should be aware of the terminology here. (which is also used everywhere, not just here)
Your total package is not 3,000. Your total package is 3,000 plus accommodation, transport, food, medical, and tickets.
3,000 is your "basic salary".
I have no idea about salaries of chefs in private homes in this country, but if you have good experience, why don't you look at jobs in restaurants and hotels?
Since all your living expenses will be taken care of, you will be able to save most of that 3,000, anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500+ every month. If you think that is good, go for it.
