About the AED/USD exchange rate
The UAE Dirham is pegged at exactly 3.6725 AED per US Dollar and has held that rate since 1997, so USD/AED barely moves — usually only a fraction of a fil either side of the peg in retail markets. What changes is everything around it: converting through AED to a third currency (like INR or PHP) inherits the dollar’s full volatility against that currency.
UAE Dirham (AED)
The UAE Dirham has been pegged to the US Dollar at 3.6725 AED per USD since 1997, so its value against other currencies moves in lockstep with the dollar. The UAE hosts one of the world’s largest expatriate workforces, making dirham remittance rates — especially AED to INR, PKR, and PHP — among the most checked exchange rates anywhere.
US Dollar (USD)
The US Dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency and is on one side of nearly 90% of all foreign-exchange trades. Commodities such as oil and gold are priced in dollars globally, so USD moves ripple through almost every other currency. Its value is driven largely by US Federal Reserve interest-rate policy, US employment and inflation data, and global demand for safe-haven assets.

- What is the current AED to USD exchange rate?
- The live mid-market rate is shown at the top of this page and refreshes on every visit.
- Is this the rate I will get from my bank or transfer service?
- Not exactly. This page shows the mid-market rate — the midpoint between global buy and sell prices, and the fairest benchmark available. Banks and money-transfer services add a margin (typically 0.5%–4%) on top, plus possible fixed fees. Use the mid-market rate here to judge how good an offered AED→USD rate really is.

- Rates come from an open exchange-rate feed that updates daily, sourced from central-bank and market data. UAE Dirham rates are influenced by the Central Bank of the UAE, and US Dollar rates by the Federal Reserve (the Fed). For high-volatility pairs, always re-check just before you transact.
- Is my conversion data private?
- Yes. The amount you type never leaves your browser — only the public rate table for AED is fetched over the network. No sign-up, no cookies required for the calculation, no limits.
