Hi Ricky,

Accommodation is Jeddah  is certainly not cheap. I think it'll be difficult to  find a villa for SAR 90,000 but you should be able to find a 2 bedroom apartment for around SAR 90,000 -100,000.

It might also be an idea to enquire with your employer to see whether they have any contacts within the compounds that can offer you a better rate on accommodation.

Check out our Accomodation in Jeddah page for more details on the housing situation in the city as well as a few recommended compounds for expats.

Good luck.
