Example
At 76 rupees per dirham, AED 3,000 is Rs 228,000, and Rs 100,000 is about AED 1,316.
Why does the AED to PKR rate change?
Since 1 USD = 3.6725 AED is fixed, the AED/PKR rate is simply the USD/PKR rate divided by 3.6725. Any change in the dollar rate in Pakistan changes the dirham rate by the same percentage.
Interbank vs open-market rate
Rates come from a public exchange-rate feed and refresh during the day. Banks, exchange companies and money-transfer apps add their own margin, so the rate you are offered will be a little lower when you sell foreign currency and a little higher when you buy it. Always confirm the final rate before you send money.
Getting the best rate when you send money
- Compare the total amount received, not just the rate, because fees differ.
- Licensed exchange companies and banks are safer than informal hawala and hundi.
- Use the Pakistan Remittance Initiative channels so your family gets the money free of extra charges.
- Avoid converting at airports, where rates are usually worse.
- Exchange houses in the UAE often run better rates near the end of the month when salaries are paid.
