Members of the Forum,
Please assist in info on cost of living for Indian Family (Veg) of 5 (Me, My Wife, My Mother and 2 Children) in Riyadh.
I have been offered a salary of SAR 18,861/- p.m. by a Renowned Bank. I am a CPA with 8 years experience in Banking and Consultancy.
I would like to know the below stated costs on per month / per annum basis.
- What is the House Rent in a good compound with all standard facilities like swimming pools, school bus availability, shopping malls etc. on monthly basis and what is the amount of security deposit; period by which rentals are increased and what is standard rental period given to tenants (family)
I heard that one can get flats at various compounds i.e.
a) Western type compounds with shopping buses for ladies and school buses, swimmimng pools , tennis courts,..etc.
Good 3 BDR house for 80,000 120,000 SAR /year. Is it True?
What is the Rental for Good 2 BDR house in these compounds?
b) Other compounds - Still good quality but no services like Shopping and school buses
Good 3 BDR house from 45,000 70,000 SAR/year. Is this safe as the above option?
What is the Rental for Good 2 BDR house in these compounds?
