I am a single mother and I have a job offer from a private school in dammam as a kindergarten teacher. They are offering me a salary of 2200 sr per month plus accomodation, medical, transportation , paid leave and discounted schooling for my child. is it enough to survive for two people? i dont have to send money home but I do want to save some money while working in Saudi Arabia.
Thanks in advance.

I think you should demand for more. It is quite low.
You can survive with this amount, but it will be kinda hard. My suggestion is not to accept an offer less than 3500 considering accommodation and transportation are provided.

well, frankly speaking this Sr 2200 is no good at all since you are not coming to Saudi Arabia only to eat and drink!
you will have to do some extra work (private teaching)surely on the account of your free time.
Good luck
