Job Opportunity in Riyadh

Hi All,


First post!  1f62c.svg


I am based in the UK and have been offered what appears, on the face of it, to be a very lucrative offer to work in KSA but would like to better understand my likely outgoings whilst living in Riyadh;


  • cost/month to live on a central compound - clean, safe with some facilities
  • cost to lease a car - is this even an option?
  • typical cost/month groceries
  • accessibility to other locations - i am on single status but would like to understand opps to meet family midway between KSA and UK


any guidance at all would be very welcome!  in particular best/worst compounds and things to be aware of,


thanks to you all in advance!

Hey congrats! I have been here for 3 months now.. from London!


overall its nice, will take getting used to, and you will slowly adjust. Will I be here a long time? nope! but an overall great experience.





cost/month to live on a central compound - clean, safe with some facilities - plenty of options, do you know where you are working?

cost to lease a car - is this even an option? Yes but pretty expensive..

typical cost/month groceries - erm around 200 ish pounds

accessibility to other locations - i am on single status but would like to understand opps to meet family midway between KSA and UK - Dubai is a good place to meet up!

Hi Helen


cost/month to live on a central compound - clean, safe with some facilities - This depends on the compound, for a one bed apartment on mid level compound between  65/90k Sar a year

cost to lease a car - is this even an option? - Yes small Yaris 2500 Sar a month - prices increase considerably for 4x4 

typical cost/month groceries - I live on about 1500 Sar a month but I am not a fancy eater

accessibility to other locations - i am on single status but would like to understand opps to meet family midway between KSA and UK KSA is becoming less conservative - on a compound life is pretty relaxed i- Riyadh is well served by international flights
