What is the AED to USD exchange rate?

The UAE Dirham is officially pegged to the US Dollar. This peg has been fixed by the UAE Central Bank since November 1997. The rate shown here is refreshed hourly from a public rate feed and should match the peg, since pegged currencies don't float.

Will the AED to USD rate ever change?

The peg has been in place for over 25 years and is considered one of the most stable currency arrangements in the world. While no peg is technically permanent, there is no indication the UAE intends to change it.

Can I convert USD back to AED?

Yes. Click the swap arrows button between the two fields to reverse the direction instantly. The table and labels update automatically.

Why is the rate field read-only?

Because the AED/USD rate is legally fixed by the UAE Central Bank. Unlike floating currencies, there is no mid-market spread — every bank and exchange uses this exact peg rate as the base.

Is this the same rate banks use?

The base peg rate is fixed by the central bank, but banks and remittance services add their own fee or margin on top. The rate this tool uses is the official interbank/central bank peg before fees.
