UAE Dirham Price Today
Quick answer
The UAE dirham price is updated every minute on this page. The dirham is fixed (pegged) to the dollar — meaning Tehran’s dirham rate is almost always the dollar rate divided by 3.67, moving up and down with the dollar.
The UAE dirham (AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates and one of the most in-demand currencies in Iran, as the UAE is the primary destination for Iranian travel, trade, shopping and education. Thousands of Iranian businesses need the dirham rate daily for pricing and transfers.
The dirham is pegged to the dollar (about 3.67 dirhams per dollar); so Tehran’s dirham rate moves almost in lockstep with the dollar, and the small gaps come only from the dirham’s own supply and demand.

What determines this price?
The fixed peg to the dollar
The dirham has been locked to the dollar for years; almost every fluctuation in Tehran’s dirham rate mirrors the dollar, and the natural gap between them stays constant.
Dubai travel and trade demand
Travel seasons (Nowruz and summer) and the volume of purchases and transfers to the UAE temporarily raise the dirham’s premium on the domestic market.
Exchange office supply
Dirham inventory at Tehran exchange offices is more limited than dollars; on low-supply days the dirham’s buy/sell spread widens.
Global dollar strength
Because the dirham is pegged to the dollar, every change in the global dollar index transfers directly onto the dirham too.
