The ILS to SAR Exchange Rate trend

The 90-day exchange rate trend of the Shekel against the Saudi Riyal has decreased by -2.66%. Despite its recent decline, the Shekel is recording a increase against the Saudi Riyal since last week. In terms of rate, the Shekel was valued at 1.04 Saudi Riyals 3 months ago and is now worth 1.01 Saudi Riyals. The fall in value does not favor the exchange rate for consumers or travelers visiting Saudi Arabia at the moment. You will receive less Saudi Riyals for your Shekel and effectively reduces your purchase power while visiting. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange Shekels to Saudi Riyals, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
