Is this basic or full package?If basic salary then it is normal and will allow you to have above average life style. While if this is full package then you might need to forget savings.

Riyadh is getting more and more expensive especially when it comes to housing. It's there where the difference is.

15K is a average salary paid unless you are in a specialist role..... cost of living is mainly rent which can be about 20K-25K per annum for a 2bhk, if you are going to be single here with shared accommodation you can get by in abt 1200 per month..apart from that living expenses abt 1500-2000 max for a single person.....i had say single person with very comfortable lifestyle can get by in abt 4K-5K per month ..
A move is a very personal choice..active social life and the little joys back home are some of the things u gonna miss once here...
