Good compounds are 90k to 120k per year.

SAR 40k for a full spec Tahoe? This is an annual lease right?
I was truly diddled then. Was paying SAR 56k (on a monthly basis) for a Toyota Prado in Riyadh.

Yes, this is an annual lease on 3 years with a 50k balloon payment. Your 56k seems like a rentacar cost. One can rent an Altima or a Camry for 2800 per month if one doesn't fancy buying.

Hi Hitesh
What did you decide in the end? Just to emphasise a point, try and get onto a compound in Riyadh. I met a friend of mine working in Saudi who is back during the Ramadan lull.
He put it well. Life in Riyadh outside the western compounds is dull and slow. Imagine a city in Pakistan - but with good roads and much cleaner. That is the best parallel. Its a miserable existence outside the compound. It would be optimal if your company pays the rent/gives you the allowance.

Oh, are there now flats/villas available for private people on Western compounds in Riyadh?

Hi
I think you need a company as a sponsor or guarantor - to show proof of employment and cash flow. You can certainly apply on your own though.

There are also a number of new compounds online now.
Where I live, they say they are full and that is not the case and they are not villas being retained by companies. As an example I moved from one villa to another and the villa I moved out of is still lying empty after 8 months.

Yes there are and always have been. The compounds use the 'compound full' line to keep prices up or the compound manager to get a backhander to jump the alleged waiting list.

In my compound I have been harassing them to move me from a 2-bed apt to a 3-bed villa and a few are lying around but no..........
