Riyadh Bills: The Real Cost of Keeping the Lights On (And Other Survival Hacks)

hey, i’m a freelance photographer wandering riyadh's streets, and the utility bills here feel like a third lens on my camera - always gotta be on point. the average rent for a one‑bedroom in al‑olaya hovers around five thousand sar, and the city’s safety rating is higher than a night market in marrakech, if you ask the locals. the gig economy is booming, especially for visual storytellers, and the government’s pushing for more tech jobs, so there’s a steady stream of projects. right now the sky’s a burnt‑orange soup, and the neighbors over the dunes are just a short flight to dubai if you need a break.
