Hi everyone.
Just have a basic question. Is $5100.00 USD per month a comfortable salary to live on in Riyadh? |

If that is exclusive of accommodation/airfare/transportation/etc then it's an excellent salary.
However, if its one of these "all-in" packages that some contractors are doing (like HAK for Aramco, for example) then its nothing special. It sounds like a lot, but if you have to shell out for everything, especially accommodation, then it ends up being pretty average, if that. |

Seems decent enough, however without additional information (quals, accommodation, transport allowance, medical coverage, etc) you see!!!
It could be lower or higher than the average salary. It all depends upon what else is offered as part of the total package and/ or what is inclusive under the term 'salary'.
People need to post more specific info to get the best possible answers...sheesh...what are we mind readers!  |
