Thank you all friends, all kinda posts worth reading indeed.

May I bring up a new topic here to be discussed (if some one of you can throw some light on it).

I am an Indian IT professional, Wanting to relocate to Riyadh with an offer of 18K SAR monthly.

I have 3 kids, 2 are school going (1 in standard 1st and 1 in KG), I have a moderate life style.

Can some one kindly explain about the cost of living in the city of Riyadh and the saving prospective ?

p.s.
Really sorry if this blog is not about discussing the financial stuff.

You can easily save 10K, if you want to. Most of the indians with those package save more than 10K. Am not sure what kind of experience you have, to guide you that package is good or not. so over all i can say just take it.
