Q: Can I use US Dollars in Saudi Arabia?

You cannot pay directly with USD in shops. You must exchange it for SAR. Some hotels might accept USD but will give you a poor exchange rate.

Q: How much cash should I carry?

For food and small shopping, 200 SAR/day per person is safe. Large purchases like gold or electronics can be paid by card.

Cash is Still King

While cards are widely accepted in malls and hotels, small shops, dates markets, and taxi drivers often prefer cash. Always keep small denominations (5, 10, 50 SAR).

Card Payments (Mada)

Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay are accepted almost everywhere, including supermarkets and pharmacies. Look for the 'Mada' or WiFi symbol on payment terminals.

Exchange Locations

Avoid exchanging large amounts at airports (higher fees). Use banks or licensed money exchangers (Enjaz, Tahweel) in the city centers of Makkah and Madinah for better rates.
