Choosing to work as a nurse in Saudi Arabia isn't just a career move- it's a smart financial decision. While nursing salaries in Saudi Arabia are comparable to those in the UK or Ireland, the real advantage lies in your ability to save.
Here's how Saudi Arabia offers a uniquely rewarding package for nurses:
1. Tax-Free Salary
Enjoy a 100% tax-free income, meaning what you earn is exactly what you take home. With no income tax deductions, you'll have significantly more freedom to grow your savings and reach your financial goals faster.
2. Free Accommodation & Utilities or Housing Allowance
Most nursing contracts include free, fully furnished accommodation or a generous housing allowance. Many packages also cover utility bills like electricity, water, and internet - eliminating one of life's biggest expenses.
3. Complimentary Daily Transport
Our partner hospitals in Saudi Arabia provide free transportation between your accommodation and the hospital, saving you time, stress, and commuting costs.
4. Cost of Living Comparison
