About the Emirati Dirham

The Emirati Dirham, abbreviated as AED, is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates. The Dirham was introduced in 1973⁽²⁾, in replacement of the Bahraini Dinar, the Qatari Riyal and the Dubai Riyal that had been in circulation at the time.

The Central Bank of the UAE intervenes automatically in the foreign exchange market in order to maintain the Dirham's fixed exchange rate against the US Dollar. 1 USD equals 3.6725 AED⁽³⁾.
