About USD to AED

The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725 dirhams per dollar.

Like other Gulf currencies, differences between providers come from their margins and fees rather than the market.

The dirham is divided into 100 fils, so amounts use two decimals.

Assumptions

  • The rate is a mid-market reference rate, not a bank’s buy or sell price.
  • Rates are published once per working day and cached on your device for up to an hour.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a bank or exchange shop to give you the reference rate exactly.
  • Forgetting to check the publication date on weekends and public holidays.
