Question: Converting to Pounds Sterling from Q.R.

Where's a good place to convert Qatar Rials into Pounds Sterling? We're going through London, and from past experience I know that it's better not to convert money there.

In Doha, are the rates and fees pretty much the same from bank to bank or is there somewhere that it is better to do the exchange?

Thanks

Thanks for the tips. I'll exchange before I leave, and won't wait until the last minute!

You get a better rate in Doha.

The rates are much the same in qatari banks.

I always use the AL SAAD exchange in Al Saad street.

I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
