there's a lari exchange at the souq area. there are also lots of other exchange houses there if you want more choices, but i don't know which ones carry rmb

i think i have passed by an al zaman exchange near the al fardan centre

Thanks again, alredoo. Have you used Zaman before? Professional group? (I was warned by my bank today to watch out for the little guys)

Lari Exchange? Google says they are in Al Khor. Thanks for the lead, keeptouch. Have you used them?

Thanks alredoo!

If anyone else is interested, this is what I've found:

Real exchange rate: 1.705

UAE exchange: 1.63

Al Fardan: 1.629

Al Zaman: 1.688

Al Zaman is apparently a little hard to find (somewhere outside the airport), but look at the difference in rate. :)
