Hi there,

living cost is relative to your lifestyle. Aside from your basic salary, you should get transportation and housing allowance.
medical insurance is paid for by the company and as an employee you should be covered.

If the company will not provide accomodation, at least ask that they could help/assist you in finding one. Also, negotiate that they will pay for first month of your accomodation and certain allowance on food cost.

Depending on your preference there are lots of website where you could share apartments.

Also, there is not a good public transportation here in Saudi. You may need a car or take taxi.

good luck.
