Thank you very much for your answers. Compound means (in your answer) not only Aramco Compound am I right? Any compound in Dhahran, Khobar or Dammam. Based on my research monthly living cost can be summaries like this at Dammam location?
Housing: SAR 5,000 ($1,333) - 2 Rooms Villa in a good neighborhood within a compound
Electricity & Water: SAR 600 ($160)
Internet & Cable TV: SAR 500 ($133)
Groceries: SAR 2,000 ($533)
School Fees (1 child): SAR 3,000 ($800)
Transportation (1 car fuel cost): SAR 500 ($133)
Miscellaneous expenses: SAR 1,000 ($267)
Medical Insurance (1 adult, 1 child): SAR 1,000 ($267)
Entertainment: SAR 1,000 ($267)
Vacation (1 time a month): SAR 2,000 ($533)
Total Monthly Expenses: SAR 17,600 ($4,694)
do you have to pay all these expenses out of pocket? I thought Armco paid most of them, like housing, utilities, medical insurance and provides vacation allowance.
