Use this real time chart to track how the Saudi riyal is performing against the Qatari riyal. It is helpful for anyone preparing a transfer, reviewing cash flow, or keeping an eye on regional currency trends.
Here is how the SAR to QAR rate has moved over the last 12 months:
The Saudi riyal and the Qatari riyal both track the US dollar quite closely, which is why this rate does not move as wildly as some others. You will still see small changes though, especially when there is more demand on one side of the border or when regional markets pick up or slow down.
Since both currencies follow the dollar, changes in US policy can influence funding conditions across the Gulf. When dollar demand rises or falls, small movements can appear in SAR to QAR pricing.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are major energy exporters. Strong oil and gas prices support confidence in the region, while softer conditions can slow capital flows. Although both currencies remain steady, these shifts can influence day to day rates.
Payments between the two countries do not stay the same from week to week. Some months there is more business activity, sometimes it is tourism, and occasionally it is a big project that starts drawing in payments. When that happens, banks can see a bit more demand on one side than the other, which is often enough to move the rate by a touch.
Banks and financial institutions respond to real time funding needs. When local demand rises in either country, the SAR to QAR rate can edge slightly higher or lower.
Whether you are supporting family, paying tuition fees, investing in property, or managing business payments, even a small improvement in the exchange rate can make a real difference. We offer:
Not significantly. Both currencies are steady due to their relationship with the US dollar, but small daily changes still happen.
