Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.
Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Pakistan, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Pakistan as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Pakistan license
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are both party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Pakistan is one Saudi Arabia is bound to recognize.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
