Riyad Bank or take 80 SR comprehensive commission Bank of America and conveying the full amount

5-I sent  money to my brother by converting  a company  its name MoneyGram by Ahli Bank

Essential Tips for those who want to travel to Saudi Arabia



My brothers because of the sharp decline in the economic aspects  in a lot of our countries, millions of young people  race to travel to Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia to open new doors for them  to escape the tragic situation in our home countries.

Therefore, the Saudi companies  reduced the salaries of the people who are interested in the newly coming in all fields due to this reason and for other reasons.

And not only companies, but also they played down the people  themselves real value as they deserve.

Therefore I thought in to make of a very small research within my spare time and I hope that everyone who reads this topic that he will inform every friend, or a relative or to post this topic or to publish it in all forums in the internet until it reaches the maximum of those who want to travel to Saudi Arabia.

Also I hope everyone who has a realistic example to reveal  what it will be listed and to send it to each one who wants to travel to Saudi Arabia.
Let me first clarify a few points:

1. The minimum amount required per month to the average standard of living for a single individual

Eating – at least  20 SR per day (Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner)
Water – at least 20 SR per month (4 vials)
Cigarette – at least 3  SR per day (approximately 5 caddy SR)
Others – at least 200 SR per month (treatment - Mobile - clothes - etc ......)
If the total is almost total SR 900 per
 month for a person who smokes and almost 800 SR to a non smoker .Knowing that there could be other expenses can happen, but I did not mention them because they differ from one person to another, Also these expenses for the ordinary person Mesh (Okil- Veilles) means.

2. the living place

If the company provides there is no  problem but if the answer is no ,here are the information:
Living
If the company will provide the living and without furniture so you If will need (bed - Cupboard - washing machine - refrigerator - cooker - Iron and - the kitchen needs - etc.)
if you want to buy new furniture in the range of  4000- 6000 SR
But if you want to buy used furniture ,it is  in the range of 2500- 3500 SR
All this without conditioning and it is in the range of 1500 SR  if it does not exist for every room of course. But if the company don’t  provide the living place  the single one will rent a flat contains  a room and a  lounge and kitchen in the range of 10,000 SR per year.
If its shared living place it will be in the range of 500 SR per month
The information in the status of your application instead of suitable living place.

3. Transportation 

in the kingdom there is no public transportation  only a small bus comes from time to time timidly, and can not be relied upon, Therefore you will ride a Taxi, and the lowest amount you'll pay 20 SR per ride. Therefore you can calculate what you need instead of the transportation
After what we have mentioned If living place  is furnished with air conditioning and transportation is provided by  of the company it can be an individual that needs 1100- 1300 SR per month
But if the opposite will require the individual to the 1800 - 2200 SR per month
So after a long search with all individuals and friends i can put a rational vision of salaries that are supposed to no one come from  our home country on less of them, and I appeal to my brothers as much as possible to publish these information because of its
utmost importance.

Notice

1- Each salaries I am going to say  are about the recent graduates or two years of experience at the most
2- Salaries mentioned without housing allowance or transmission
3- Salaries mentioned without health insurance
The realistic salaries and should not be less than that
Engineers in  all different fields from  5500 - 7000 SR
land surveyors in all different  fields from 4000 - 5000 SR
pharmacists in all different fields from 4500 - 6000 SR
doctors in all fields from 5500 - 7000 Saudi SR
teachers in all fields from 3000 - 4000 SR
labor in all fields from 2500 - 4000 SR
Accountants, secretaries, agents  in all  fields from 3000 - 4000 SR
Funny salaries and its real and there are a lot of examples
Accountants  1200 SR
Engineers 1,800 SR
Physicians 2,500 SR
Teachers, 1,500 SR
Drivers 1,100 SR
Labor 700 SR


important note :

1. Indian engineer recent graduate refuses to come to less than 6,000 SR and provide everything described previously
2. Jordanians and Palestinians and Indians accountants they don’t come if its to less than 3,000 SR and provide everything described previously
3. Syrian and Lebanese, Indian and Palestinian salaries greater than the Egyptians and the reason relates to the Egyptian himself  because he  is more efficient than  all of them, but lacks the research and get the information before making a decision.


Therefore I hope that everyone who reads this post benefits and sends it to the largest possible number of the people.



10 bad habits in Saudi people !!

Truth be told ... .. Saudi people  majority are good people and the government achieved prosperity ,safety, strong infrastructure and more ..
In this post i highlight some bad habits here(less than 10% from people)  and that may be shared by other peoples from different countries .



The first one:

It’s the habit of the sorting and rating, so the dealing with the other one is based on his cultural,ideological,intellectual,tribal and ethnical background, not about his value as a human or his own character. A long list of definitions and descriptions are secreted of by the community by means of it elites and members .For example this one is liberal or secularist or nasiba or rafida or clannish.

The second one:

Disrespecting the privacy, the examples are too much.its enough to use the automatic teller machine ATM to find out the eyes, all of the eyes are mostly pasted to the screen of that ATM to saturate their greediness and curiosity about knowing how much money you have withdrawed  and how much has left in your modest bank account.

The third one:

The embarrassment and anger to mention the name of the woman, weather she is a daughter or a sister or a wife or a mother. I still keep the invitation ticket of the wedding for  the daughter of a well-known academician he teaches mass communication at one of the notable universities was written on it “the noble daughter of the doctor” instead of writing his daughter’s name .one of the resident rote one time :why most of the girls names in Saudi Arabia are “noble”.

The fourth one:

Not caring about the others rights, literally the selfishness which the few of our community act.in japan for example the one who comes to the work earlier parks his car  in the far parks and leaves the close parks to the people who come later, in our communities the opposite takes place.so it’s acted be a concept “myself and let  the flood comes after that”

The fifth one:

Not respecting the time beside of managing and investing it. “ we will meet after the evening prayer” this expression is so common in our communities. Its is short for about our carelessness and respecting the time and punctuality.

The sixth one:

Exaggerated caring about the others opinion about us and about our life’s details , so we do not have enough conviction and self-confidence. We eat and drink and wear clothes and choose our professions, everything,  based on what the others chose for us.

The seventh one:

Sleeping lately. No one can compete us about this bad habit in any other community and how much this bad habit affects negatively in our life “coming lately to the work, overstrain, stress, lack of productivity”

The eighth one:

The urgency in all sides of our life. We eat  fastly like we are in the race, we drive our car too fast , we speak too fast  more than the new broadcaster in the TV ,although we don’t talk about useful things.

The ninth one:
The apparent absence of the phenomenon of ideals and role models and inspiring in our society , we are the only one who don’t care about promoting this brilliant phenomenon which the other societies are proud of it , on the contrary we reduce the value of the others

The tenth one:
The worst habit ever  in our community , but honestly I was ashamed to write it.





My experience with the weather in the Saudi cities

It is common that people imagine Saudi Arabia as  a vast desert and thus its climate is hot and dry, but through my living here, I discovered that it's completely different!
Here I will talk briefly about each city i faced.

1. Riyadh

Hot summer with waves of dust from time to another, so that if you are complaining of some diseases, especially respiratory, I do not advise you to live in Riyadh
In the summer you need cool water to bathe !! Or take the shower at 4 AM in the morning? Yes, honestly..
Night in Riyadh is very cold in winter .. so you'll wear a coat all the time.
