The Saudi riyal (SR or SAR) is pegged to the US dollar at SR3.75:$1. Credit cards are generally accepted across the Kingdom, and ATMs can be found even in remote places. One must have a local bank account to change currency, but many hotels exchange cash. All three of the Kingdom’s mobile operators offer prepaid SIM cards, which can be easily obtained nationwide. Domestic calls and those within the GCC are relatively inexpensive. Internet connection quality is variable, with many internet cafés and wireless hotspots. The workweek is Sunday to Thursday, but some companies are open on Saturday morning as well. Public sector hours are from 7am to 3pm, and it is wise to note the short closing periods during prayer times. Four out of five prayer calls take place during business hours.
