Hi,
Can anyone please let me know if I can get Australian Dollars exchanged to SAR easily? I have heard about ease in converting USD but no idea about AUD.
Thanks,

You can usually change AUD at the big hotels like the Hotel Intercontinental. I'm not sure about at the banks and exchange centres.

Thanks Pitch. Sounds like it will be quite a challenge to convert.
Cheers!

It is a challenge mate! Can never forget the sarcastic reply I got from one of the big hotels that "they only deal with real dollars"...anyways, travel to downmarket areas like batha and get it from there! Otherwise very hard to exchange in city! Cheers!

Next time, it would probably just be easier to bring SAR or USD which you can get really easily in Australia - at least in Sydney.
