Re: indian moving to Dammam Hi Navin, I am also from Karnataka, Kumta to be specific. The salary offered to you is very good, you should be able to get a Villa @50000 SAR per year in any of the compounds in Al Khobhar / Dammam, Your monthly expenses including food, entertainment, kid's expenses etc etc will not exceed 2000SAR, max , saudi is the cheapest country to live in middle east . Eastern Province is very liberal, your wife needs to wear an abhya all the time , but head need not be covered. Inside compound she can even wear shorts or hit the pool etc. It's a different life inside & outside the compound. 5yrs in Saudi bro & you can atleast save more than a Crore INR hard cash . GD LK & safe landing

Hi Navin - Just curious. Have you taken the job and if yes have you relocated to Khobar and if yes where do you stay - in a compound or apartment? This is for my info only. I have also recently joined a company in Khobar and was exploring the best possible place to stay. hi all, i am naveen a dentist, who has been offered a job in King Faisal university/ university of Dammam. it is a teaching job at the dental college in Dammam university. i have been offered a decent salary of around 14k rial per month plus housing allowance, travel allowance, 60 days of annual paid leave, family visa and yearly tickets. i am from Karnataka, basically from Mysore. i have a few queries is it a good offer, i have completed my masters in dentistry and am working as an assistant professor in a dental college here. i have a son, who is 3 months old and my wife is a house wife, how easy or difficult it is for them to adjust.
