Common dirham amounts in rupees
Why AED to PKR follows the US dollar
The UAE dirham has been officially pegged to the US dollar since 1997 at about 3.6725 dirhams per dollar. That means AED to PKR does not move on its own; it moves when USD to PKR moves.
To understand what moves the rupee against the dollar, read our USD to PKR page and the guide to Pakistan's forex reserves.
Three ways to send money from the UAE
Bank transfer
Usually suits larger amounts. Ask for the exchange rate used, the transfer fee and any charges at the receiving bank.
Exchange house
Convenient for cash or account delivery. Compare the quoted rate and fee with at least one other branch or provider.
Mobile app
Often quick to compare. Check the final rupee amount shown before you confirm, not just the headline fee.
Whichever you choose, check the effective rate: the rupees your family receives for the dirhams you pay, after every fee.
Example: a lower fee is not always cheaper
Illustrative numbers only. Imagine sending AED 2,000 through two providers:
| Rate (PKR per AED) | Fee | Family receives | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provider A | 76.0 | AED 15 | Rs. 150,860 |
| Provider B | 75.6 | AED 0 | Rs. 151,200 |
Provider B has a lower headline rate but delivers Rs. 340 more, because the fee on A outweighs its better rate. Always multiply the amount after fees by the rate. See more in best time to exchange currency.
Frequently asked questions
What is 1 AED to PKR today?
The figure at the top of this page is the latest reference rate we fetched for one UAE dirham in Pakistani rupees. Exchange houses and banks quote their own rates, so confirm before you send money.
Why does AED to PKR move with the US dollar?
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at about 3.6725 AED per USD, so AED to PKR is roughly the USD to PKR rate divided by 3.6725.
How do I get the best rate when sending money to Pakistan?
Compare the final rupee amount your family receives from two or three providers on the same day, after fees. A better headline rate can still deliver less once fees are included.
Is the rate here the same as my exchange house?
Usually not. This is a reference rate. Exchange houses, banks and apps add their own margin and fees.
Do remittances from the UAE affect the Pakistani rupee?
Yes. Remittances are a major source of foreign currency for Pakistan and support reserves, which helps the rupee.
How often is the rate on this page updated?
