i think its not that good offer if you have previous experience on the same job.it will mostly depend on your experience and qualification.some people here start with similar pay and they work they way to pay rise.wat post are they offering you?

Your salary is your saving ! The expensive part is Kuwait is the accommodation and that is being taken care of. Plus you are getting your meals ! So all what you have to pay for is your phone bills etc. Not a bad start !

in that case i think you should compare other offers with this one and see which one has most to offer you and you can go which one you are most comfortable.
