A standard two bedroom flat in a 3/4 storey apartment would cost around 1000 Saudi Riyals per month. Be it Dammam, Khobar, Jeddah. I've worked before in Saudi. I think still the rents haven't gone much up there and heard that it is the same in Bahrain also. Here my landlord is forcing 10% increase every year while rules say every second year. Can't help but agree. Difficult to move one house to another. The worst thing is that most Qatari companies don't give salary increments annually or even bi-annually.
