Changing currency

[kingArthur]

Good day all
I have a slight problem I am in saudi on a short term contract and I am operating on a visa so i do not have a iqama Obviously the goal is to save money but i need find out if there is any place where in riyadh where i can exhange riyals for rands?

I'm guessing you're wanting to remit funds back home-you can try the Western Union exchanges-easier option would be to get someone with a Saudi account to remit funds home for you.

Simple answer - go to the airport and exchange your cash into currency - either US dollars or Pounds - Option 1.

Option 2 - go to Riyad bank they can do money exchanges - also Al Raji bank (Al Rajeeeee) they changes cash.

Option 3. - Money exchange Western Union as stated above - here No issues

Option 4. - Money exchange branches - Ballad (Jeddah) Batha in Riyadh.

Other wise as the other person wrote - find someone who can assist you with your transaction - give them Riyals and they can transfer back home into your account??
