What is the USD to AED exchange rate?

The official fixed rate is 1 USD = 3.6725 AED. The UAE Central Bank has maintained this peg since November 1997 and it does not fluctuate.

Does the USD/AED rate ever change?

No. The dirham is pegged to the dollar at a fixed rate, unlike free-floating currencies. Banks and exchange houses may charge a small spread above this rate, but the underlying rate never changes.

How do I convert AED back to USD?

Divide the AED amount by 3.6725, or use the AED to USD toggle in this tool. For example, 100 AED ÷ 3.6725 = $27.23 USD.

Why is there a difference at money changers?

Exchange bureaus add a service margin on top of the base peg rate. The spread is typically 0.5%–2%, so you receive slightly fewer dirhams per dollar than the theoretical 3.6725 rate.

Is this tool accurate for large transactions?

Yes for the base rate. For transactions above $10,000, contact your bank for their specific commercial rate, as institutional rates may differ slightly from retail rates.
