Hi,

I got an offer to work in Dammam as a teacher in a certain company. They will pay me 2200 SR plus free accommodation, monthly food allowance, paid leave, free airfare and other insurances. I will travel alone.

I am 21 years old and from one of the country in South East Asia. This would be my first time to travel out of our country and am hoping you can give me advices.

Thank you.

and my salary here in jeddah is worst, 1,300 rials only! i thought it's enough because in philippines 1,300 rials is enough that's why i signed the contract.

at christine: tessky means, the salary offered is low.

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the World, where you can save your money and you can save your self from bad things.

You can pray on time and visit weekly or montly to Makkah/Madinah.

That is okay for a starter. Just be frugal.
