No.  You have to HAVE your Iqama done after arrival in Saudi to be able to sponsor family.  Right now you will only get a work visa which allows you to travel to Saudi, land, get a border number, get health insurance, sign QIWA contract, do medical and THEN you get an Iqama.


They can travel with you on a normal visit visa but will have to leave to get the family visa stamped in their home country (after medical and other processes) - visit visa won't be converted to family visa inside Saudi.

Thanks @Xtang for this info, do you know how long does it take to get the above after arriving in Saudi?
