guys....don't discourage him.Let him come and have a good time.He could find cheaper hotels for 150 riyals per night in some remote ares like national,souq area etc and have food decently with 75 riyals per day and 400 to 500 riyals for local shopping.site seeing and taxi rents will cost another 500 riyals.So all together QR.2500 approx.Its more than enough for a decent stay.
