NZD to SAR Currency Exchange

When planning a trip to Saudi Arabia, find out the most you can about the country, especially the use of the local currency. In Saudi Arabia, the currency used is the Saudi riyal (SAR). You will surely be able to pay with your credit card in most shops and for most of your purchases. However, it is always good to carry cash in the local currency as for some situations this can be very useful, for instance if you plan to buy from small shops. We advise you to exchange dollars to riyals before you leave to ensure a better exchange rate and that you are fully prepared for your trip.

• If you are planning to rent a car, make a diversion to the Edge of the World, which is located towards the Tuwaiq Mountains. The road is bumpy so you will need to hire a suitable vehicle. On the way you can visit the underground Bin Rashid cave before being blown away by the view when you reach your final destination.

• The city of haqra is a reconstruction of the ancient city, estimated to be over 1,500 years old and rebuilt exactly as it was before. Visitors can walk through the salt fields of Qasab, salt extracted from the ground from the water as it was done hundreds of years ago.
