Dubai Currency

Dubai's currency is the United Arab Emirates Dirham and trades at around 3.7 for every U.S. Dollar. Most major credit cards are accepted in Dubai, but often vendors will give better deals for cash. You can exchange your currency at banks or exchange houses.

Bank hours are from 8 am to 1 pm Saturday through Thursday, although some reopen from 4pm to 5:30pm. Exchange house hours are from 8:30am to 1pm and 4:30 to 8:30 pm.
