Its a reasonable salary package in Saudi Arabia. As you said you would prefer simple living with Family (Wife & 3yr old child) which will cost you around 3000 to 4000 SR based on standard living conditions. You will be having a tight situation if you are thinking to save half of your salary.

thanx syed for the feedback...... 
My wife is professional teacher.Can she teach in any of the Indian School so that she can also contribute ?.
Also aren't there any increments annually , so that after some time at least we can save something.
i will appreciate your help in this regard.

Your Welcome!
Its a good thing that your wife is also willing to contribute, there are many Indian schools in Dammam, But opportunity for women are limited here but still she can give a try.
Yeah! there is increment annually, But it depends on Company like MNC / International or Local Company with good reputation in some cases its also depends on Employer/Company's management(Arab/American/European).
According to my experience, 5% to 10% of your Basic salary may increase. In some company they also offer annual Bonus,
Note:
By the way there are some companies, neither any increment nor bonus. Even salary is delayed.
