With regards to the cost of living in Saudi Arabia. I am different than most living in the kingdom. I am on a Combine Cycle Solar Powered Power Plant Project.

I live on the plant and there is no cost to me.

I have a company vehicle to use and there is no cost to me. Fuel I pay for when needed, however I am reimbursed.

Food is provided at the site canteen, 3 meals a day.

So, the cost of living here for me is $0.

I have been on the present project for over 3 years.
