Yemen Red Sea Currencies & Banks

For the best rates, change your money in commercial banks or with private moneychangers in the souqs of large cities. The airports and larger hotels generally offer poor rates. In some smaller towns you might not be able to change money at all. US dollars and major European currencies in cash are the most widely accepted forms. Travelers cheques may be difficult to change and credit cards are almost useless.
