Is it normal for consulting firms in KSA to share contracts with the employment duration being just one year? Is it a legal requirement for the contracts to be this short?

Yes, normal from my experience although my contracts do say they will be auto renewed for another year unless either party provides 30 day notice. I think it’s aligned to the renewal of the Iqama (residency) card.
