Extra Travel Tips

• Mix Cash & Card – Saudi Arabia is card-friendly in cities, but small shops, souks, and roadside vendors may prefer cash—especially smaller notes for quick purchases.
• Use SAR in Saudi Arabia, not AUD – Paying in local currency ensures better value and avoids hidden conversion fees or poor exchange rates.
• Watch ATM Fees – Some foreign cards may incur withdrawal charges. Use bank-affiliated ATMs like Al Rajhi or SNB for reliable access and clearer fee structures.
• Leftover Riyal After Your Trip? Danesh Exchange offers a buy-back service for unused Saudi Riyal—secure, convenient, and great value.
