I have been made an offer at a medical city But they don't give accommodation nor transport.
On a single contract how do I get accommodation and how much is monthly rent. If i wish to get a furnished apartment how much will it be and do you have to go through an agent. I am worried that once I arrive i have no place to go.

Hi Stanstedboi,

Welcome to Expat.com!

I would also invite you to have a look at topics on the Saudi Arabia housing forum.

For KSA until your Residence / Iqama is not made you cannot make a legal contract with anyone usually.
For starters you have to live in a hotel room which d have rent of around 100 SAR per night. If for one month then the rent of hotel room d come down considerably. You dont need contractors you have to do hunting of home with state agent (AQARI in arabic). Initial time is always hard but if your are alone during this time it d pass easily.
