When I lived in Jeddah I had this all worked out but now I'm in Riyadh and have to start all over again. Where do I get a good haircut, where do I buy food, etc...
Most important right now, does anyone know where I can exchange Riyals for U.S. Dollars? Preferably close to the Embassy area or around the Kingdom tower. I'll even go to the Batta or Philippino market area if I can get a good exchange rate.
The banks won't even look at me because I'm not a resident and the hotel busboys offered to get me some Dollars but with the prevalence of funny money floating around I don't want to take any chances. I'm looking for an established business.
Thanks in advance.
