Send UAE Dirham to British Pound

AED→GBP matters for travel, study and property between the UAE and the United Kingdom.

The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725, while the pound floats freely under the Bank of England. So AED→GBP tracks the US dollar’s value against the pound — a dollar-versus-sterling rate with the dirham fixed to the dollar side.

Sterling is one of the most-traded currencies, so this rate moves with global sentiment toward the pound and the dollar rather than with UAE policy.

What it really costs to send

The rate on this page is the mid-market rate — the midpoint of the interbank buy and sell price, with no markup added. It is the fairest reference point, but it is usually not the rate you are offered: a bank, card or exchange house sets its own rate a little away from the mid-market rate and may add a fee, so what you actually pay when you spend or transfer to the UK is a little more than a straight mid-market conversion suggests. We don’t publish any single provider’s rate or promise a saving — compare the mid-market rate here against the all-in total your service quotes, fee included, to judge the real cost.
