Speaking from Dubai but many of these may well apply to KSA.
security deposits on accommodation and utilities
potential agents fees
Potential deposit if you lease a vehicle.
setting up your home whether or not furnished will still cost you.
moving costs in excess of any allowance from your employer
If applicable any residual UK tax liabilities.(seek advice)
plus things ive probably overlooked.

Obviously depends on the package/circumstances, and it is better to be on the save side anyway and manage expectations and avoid any disappointment.

Thanks UKMS for the details. But I guess one (for instance with the above example where there could be around 350-400k savings per year) still can manage to save a little bit even in the first year.

bosab7779 Did you manage to get an iqama for your MIL? If yes, can you share details on the process + any recommendation for agancies/lawyers to help. I also got an offer to move to Riyadh, and bringing my MIL (who is a war refugee from Ukraine) with us is a must for me to accept.
