Hi lxh, glad you found the right place to post ;-)
QR 47,000 is a very good salary. We are from the UK and are on a package in the same sort of ball park, though we also have accommodation provided by the company (as you've probably gathered already rents are pretty high here. Think QR 10,000 to QR 16,000 for a good standard apartment). We live pretty well here and have plenty left over to save. Obviously whether you could do the same would depend on how extravagant a lifestyle you live at home!
I'm sure you already have, but you also have to consider the sacrifices you'll make, such as leaving friends and family behind, moving somewhere that doesn't have as much going on (assuming you're coming from a city).
