Track how the dollar is performing against the Saudi riyal in real time. This live chart helps you monitor small shifts before making a transfer or planning a transaction.
Here’s how the USD to SAR rate has moved over the past year:
The USD to SAR exchange rate is one of the most stable currency pairs in the world, thanks to Saudi Arabia’s long-standing currency peg. But while the official rate holds steady, small pricing differences may still appear in real-world transactions.
The Saudi riyal is fixed to the dollar at a rate of 3.75 SAR per USD. This peg has been maintained for decades, offering predictability for trade, oil pricing, and capital flows across the Gulf.
Although the peg holds, the rate you receive might vary slightly due to liquidity, FX margins, or timing. Large transfers and after-hours transactions may offer marginally higher or lower prices than the official level.
Saudi Arabia earns most of its income in dollars through oil exports. High energy prices usually increase USD inflows, which can improve local availability of dollars and support smoother transfers or institutional payments.
Even though SAR follows the dollar, broader USD strength can affect purchasing power and the real-world value of SAR. If the dollar rises against other major currencies, SAR benefits too, even if the USD to SAR peg remains unchanged.
