Ask them to provide you a two bedroom accommodation instead of allowance, because…even though the rents are coming down...its difficult to find a 2 bed apartment for 3500.
Cost of living is high...for food.. a family of three you might need QR.2000/- and for your utility bills you need QR.500..and with little entertainments....you maybe able to save 3 or 4 thousand riyals.
What happens is…. after coming here... when you see the life style and salary of people from your country with similar qualification and experience... you might feel bad…
But then again it depends on what you are making in your country at the moment..
Try to negotiate…ask for min. seven thousand basic..
All the best:)
