Affordable housing (often provided by the company you are employed with). Free education is a major reason why people find life in Saudi Arabia to be affordable. Extremely low fuel costs than anywhere else in the world. The country also offers free healthcare to its residents (medical insurance for expats provided by the company they work for). When you leave work to go back to your home country, you are entitled to lucrative \u2018End of Service\u2019 benefits. The proximity to Mecca, for devout Muslims. Friendly people who are known for their hospitality. Many expats live in the country which means you can meet people from around the globe.
