This depends on several factors; I don't think anybody can give a useful estimate.

Nationality
Experience
Degree(s)
Company's own scale

Plus a few other less important ones. Housing allowance is usually 25% of basic salary, and transportation is usually 10% of basic salary. Good luck, sorry can't help you with an estimate for the basic salary.

Sorry didnt get back to you earlier. As a junior engineer, you should be looking at around SR. 5,000 at the very least, that's almost double of what you are getting in Tunisia. And that's basic salary. Housing and transport allowance would be on top of that. But again, a lot depends on the company and what they pay their current employees. But definitely negotiate as much as you can. Good luck!
