do you get to keep any housing allowance you don't spend? 190k is quite chunky these days.

Sadly no.....un-used housing allowance stays with the Company, in fact the house/villa or whatever will be on their name not mine.

Re: Leaving KSA...hello DXB
Rents here are fairly low and don't show signs of increasing - 190k will get something quite decent.
anyway - good package (was great in KSA for sure).

If the 190k includes utilities and bills etc then look lower, obviously. If it's that plus they pay bills on top then go wild and Mission might pop over for a cuddle.

Live close-ish to work though, no point making a commute miserable.
