Hi all,
I have Saudi Riyals that I want to exchange for euro's聽 (or maybe even British pounds). Any idea where you can get the best rate?

And if you yourself have euro's and are interested to exchange with me then that's also okay.

There's an exchange at Al Batha just after the flyover from the center towards manfouha on the left side...don't remember the name though

Thanks Ali for sharing. Only issue is is that everyone advised not to go to Batha as its not that safe. Especially if you want to exchange (large amounts of) money. Are there no other places who offer a good rate?

Then the only option is the airport at the departure lounge.

I know Batha isn't safe, but go along with 1-2 guys in a car in broad daylight during office hours when people are there everywhere and then go exchange it. Let your friend drive and stop right in front of the exchange, you can get down exchange and be off within 10-15 mins.

Or else Khobar there are lot of exchange centers but then the travel to Khobar is 4 hrs long via the highway!
