Here living expenses are considarbly good (Except the mobile services!! its too costly over here, you need to spend min 1 SR per min). You can live a good life with
1000 - 1400 SR. My sincere advise for you is better learn cooking before you come here. Because whom ever I knew over here are cooking themselves. Its the best way to
save money, though the restaurants costs you the same of our cities, we should remeber the only reason here we are for make some money!
In saudi there are so many super markets (they call it as hyper markets) where you can get all the groceries you need. They have computers to slippers in that place.
For the country people,We say it in Tamil as "Mannin Mayintharkaluku"!! You can see so many Indians out here. Not only Indians,people from Pakistan,Bangladesh and also
lankans and Philiphines. In short you can see most of the south east Asia people out here who's country's economy are not as good as UAE, KSA. We have separate area's
for differnt people's too. Like one of the Riyadh's (KSA Captiol is Riyadh) happening place like Baddah has differnt areas for Tamil,mallu restaurants. You can feel that you are in your home land when you enter those places. You don feel like you are in a Muslim country that too way away from your Native.
We have to remember to maintain our activities with our limits. This country is too sensitive. They follow all the rules as per King. That too a religious Muslim country, which has Medhina,Mekka you have to respect their customs. As our MNC's like TCS say, each and everyone of the employees is a Brand ambassidor. The same way,
here each and every citizen of KSA is a represntative, brand ambassdor of the country. They have all the rights to enquire you, search you if they feel. So better be respect all and keep things right.
Also know about the Ramadan period. In Ramadan month you wont see any one working for more than 6 hours. Banks, IT firms everything will be from morning 9.30 AM to
3.30 PM only. We don't get food , water at this time. No shops will be opened, no restaurants nothing.Food stalls and malls will become functional only after 9.30 PM.
So if you are not preparing food at home, be prepared for the fasting at Ramadan period. Lol
As I said earlier, this country is too sensitive. Each and every citizen of KSA has the rights to bust you out if they found you misbhehaving. No bird watching, No
boozing (also, they are not available here).The police here wont be nice to you since you are a foreginer, moreover they will be even more strict. Remember, if you
caught and thrown into prison it's very tough to come out. You wouldn't be allowed to contact outside. Better learn the rules, respect it and don't get into trouble.
Only god can help you out. May be you can read the below thread if you want to know more info.

The sad thing about this Artical:
I have been keep on telling KSA is like this, rules are very strict, you have to obey them, respect the culture etc. Did I ever thought about those when I am in India? Do we?
A best example I can tell you.
This is about a business man (A big shot) in India. He use to take his dog for morning walk every day. On this time he makes sures that his dog finshes its natural calls by there, on the road. But the same guy, when he went to USA , who took the dog for a walk ensures that it completes the activities in home itself.
Its all because our mentality has changed all over the time due to laws that are not capable of shapping us. To be put in other words it has lead us to grow in a uncultured manner. If you are not accepting this fact, leave here a one good reason on the comment section. The laws are strict in USA, and it doesnt care about whom, so
the business guy does makes sures he is following the rules. Because he knows that rules are not like in India.
Guys..Don you think its high time to think? Also ..
