I have been offered employment in Kuwait but I have never worked in Middle-east not I have any friends or relatives there.

Here is my situation,

I have been offered a package of 2175KD per month, which includes 350KD for housing and 100KD for car allowance.

I am from India and wish to send my son to an Indian school.

With that said, I also need to put aside 3000USD (840KD) a month.

Will I be able to save this amount based on what has been offered as a monthly salary to me?

Can I get a 2bed room apartment for 350KD in a decent area?

How is the transportation from schools, my son is 6years.

I will appreciate any help.

hello and welcome to Expat.com

the answer to your questions is Yes on all accounts; as for transportation to and from school, that depends on where you live ad what school you enroll your son in.

I'm with Legacy on that too. However you need to check the cost of school to align your budget along with your saving plan.
