Estimated living cost in Rakah - Some Questions

1. Your monthly rent is included in your offer letter. On Rakah, all furniture including new white good appliances, energy, water, internet and local phone calls are included
2. My grocery bill is about the same as it was in London. Some things are dearer, some things are cheaper. As a rule of thumb, anything processed and imported is much more expensive than you would find at home - breakfast cereals for example. Also some supermarkets stock US imported fruit and veg at great expense, when the same more locally produced is available at a fraction of the price. Likewise, for eating out there are some delicious local restaurants which are about a third of the price of a US chain (TGI Fridays, Chilli's etc) and better quality in my opinion.
3. Aramco provided facilities (swimming pool, pool tables, squash, tennis courts, bowling alley etc) are free but any SDG, eg swimming club, tennis club will have its own membership and coaching fee structure.
4. No fee for the on site pre-school that I am aware of
5. Petrol is $0.10 / litre! You can live here quite cheaply if you are willing to compromise a little on what you are used to buying.
