Hi, i recently moved to Riyadh from Dubai and let me tell you the the price different i found here is so much. When i was staying in Dubai i was living in a small one bedroom apartment, i had to share washroom and kitchen with other people. My rent there was around 5800 dirhams per month. almost half of my salary was gone in paying the rent :ohno:
also the general food there was more expensive and salary was a bit lower too. In Dubai i was saving very little money.

Now i am living in Riyadh, I live in a huge apartment, i have my own kitchen,washroom and even a dining room. I dont have to share anything with anybody. My rent here is only 2700/riyals, it is half of what i paid in dubai and this aparment is so much better and larger. Also the food is so cheap here, like shawarma is only 3 riyals and i can eat a huge plate in under 10 riyals from so many restaurants. The food quality here is much better then Dubai. And the best thing is i am saving so much money here:banana:

I am really loving saudi :banana::cheers:

^ thanks, i have found Riyadh amazing so far. Its very modern and clean, so many huge malls. The roads are huge and there are not to many traffic problems here like Dubai.

I don't know if it was me who mentioned food but yes, the food in saudi arabia is the best! I guess the chains from jeddah are in riyadh now too...so it's the same across the kingdom..
