Should I go or should I stay

Edits:

Thanks to a beautiful member, she made me realize that I did not mention the reason why all this came up.... so I edited the post to share what would be the situation if I STAY, if I stay in Dubai

Dubai story:
I lived here since every – I don’t have any homesick feelings since years…..very lonely, but also super busy, so it’s working just well for me and my 2 boys.
Back in April, my company put us on 20% of basic salary and due to covid impact and the merge of both regions ( MEA and Europe) I got redundant in Jul.....basically since Apr – I had no income and I am a single mom and the only provider for both children including their schools ( age 11 & Protected content i spent all my savings and emergency funds during the last 7 months.... The only work opportunity I have got now pays 50% of my previous package. I can rely on it for a while and use my end of service to cover the balance for 6 months ( bearing in mind that zero savings). The other challenge is that the job is hotel based and I have suffered before with my job search cause other industries do not welcome candidates from hospitality background/ work experience – so it’s an opportunity that won’t help me to find another better paying role.

Riyadh Story
I got an offer to work in Riyadh and to move there with my 2 boys mid Dec, with a very good company – a company that no one believes I was approached my them and I don’t have big connection to get in…..It’s a dream company for so many of those I know. This job will also give me a better chance for better future once I finish my contract Protected content
I am very worried from how I will feel – cause again – am ALONE and if I feel depressed – no one is there to lift me up.
The package is not huge – so I won’t be able to afford the super expensive expatriate accommodation where you feel you are still in dubai, but the package is good enough to guarantee me a good living style and also to be able to save around 5 to 7 k per month. I can afford living in other compounds where they are mostly arabs– however I have heard these facts about these communities:
-As a single woman, it’s not gonna be too easy to blend in ( as the arab community there are mostly families)
-If I go to the pool with my kids – I might be perceived as ODD ( cause am not European or foreigner to act like one)
-In other word – I might feel a bit judged or pre judged since I won’t be super welcomed to get to know me first
-Although in dubai – I don’t really have a big gang/ know my neighbors – it’s normal, but if I live in a community and people gather on Friday after the prayer or during Eid or during holidays and I am not welcomed, I would really feel super depressed – it’s a killing feeling to be excluded.

Also, I was told that in general, the entertainment in Riyadh are mostly malls, restaurants and compound ( where I live!)………..
I am hoping to get more details from you...... any idea how can I get a full picture? any confirmation of the worries I shared???? your thoughts and suggestions would really help xx
