Hi, I am preparing to accept an offer in Jeddah with a monthly salary of 10,000 with accommodation and transportation. I am an Indian and Christian and i live a simple life -- since accommodation and transport are provided -- i need a tip to understand the cost of medium budget single person in SA - Jeddah.

I think a salary of SAR 10,000 is pretty decent considering that accomodation and transportation are included. What is your job role?
If you want to get an idea of about salary expectations have a read through this article - Comparison of expat salaries in the Middle East.
Ultimatley, rent tends to be your biggest cost in Saudi Arabia and how much you spend/save will depend on your lifestyle.
Take a look at the Expat Arrival's page on the Cost of Living in Saudi Arabia to get an idea of what you need to budget for.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
