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
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

I am really loving saudi
