Hello,
Thank you all for your helpful tips, I have been browsing through the forum for hours now.

I am considering a move to Riyadh to teach at a University there. I am a single woman and will be provided air tickets home, health insurance, great time off schedule, furnished housing, and shuttle to my place of employment and shopping. I have been offered a salary of SAR 20,000/mth. This seems like a wonderful opportunity as the only thing I have to do is feed myself and I am looking forward to the experience. I am fresh out of graduate school with teaching experience as a graduate student and this will be my first full faculty position.

I would like to ask those who are familiar with the area and salary ranges, is that salary low-balling it and is anyone familiar with the Nuzha housing facilities? Please your honest feedback would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Riyadh apartments, try the various Akariyah (agencies). They are your last hope in this matter.
