💡 BEST PLACES TO EXCHANGE MONEY IN DUBAI
Avoid airport exchange counters — they charge 3-5% above market rate. The best rates are at UAE Exchange, Al Ansari Exchange, and Al Rostamani Exchange offices found in malls and metro stations across Dubai. Banks offer competitive rates but charge fees on small amounts.
💳 CARD VS CASH IN DUBAI
Dubai is very card-friendly — Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere. Your bank's foreign transaction fee (typically 1.5-3%) is often better than exchange office margins. However, always carry some cash for taxis, small shops, and tipping. ATMs charge AED 10-20 per withdrawal plus your bank's fee.
🪙 THE AED PEG
The UAE Dirham (AED) has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 1 USD = 3.6725 AED since 1997. This peg has remained stable for 28+ years, meaning AED/USD conversions are essentially fixed. When you see the USD rate fluctuate slightly, it's due to market microstructure — the official rate never changes.
