So, a tentative offer was extended to me from an academy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The written offer is on the way, but I wanted to start getting opinions from those with experience and knowledge about what a fair offer in this region entails.

Summary: I have 2 years formal EFL teaching experience, a background as cororate trainer, a Bachelors degree, and a TEFL certificate (not a Masters degree). The work hours are 8 or 9 hours per day, 5 days a week in split shifts (total teaching time not to exceed 25 or 26 hours per week). The "salary package" offered is about $3, 700 a month, which includes monthly salary, housing allowance, and transportation allowance. All other benefits seem to be standard: medical insurance, paid holidays, 30 days vacation at end of contract.

Is this a fair deal? Are there other benefits I should be aware of? AND, WHAT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT DEAL, IN YOUR OPINION? Thanks in advance.
