About the UAE Dirham (AED)
The UAE dirham is one of the world's most reliable pegs — fixed to the dollar for nearly three decades and backed by substantial reserves. The USD/AED rate you see today is effectively the rate you'll see next month.
Dubai's role as a trade and remittance hub means enormous AED flows: expat workers remit dirhams to India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Egypt, while Amazon.ae and Noon sellers price in dirhams with 5% UAE VAT applied on marketplace fees.
Issued by the Central Bank of the UAE. The dirham has been pegged at 3.6725 AED per US dollar since 1997.
