This chart shows the real-time exchange rate from dirhams to riyals. Whether you're managing supplier payments, preparing to send money to Saudi Arabia, or watching the markets, use it to monitor live movements.
Here’s how the AED to SAR rate has moved over the last 12 months:
The UAE dirham and Saudi riyal are both pegged to the US dollar, which means the AED to SAR rate usually stays in a tight range. But even with those pegs, small shifts still happen. Here’s why:
While both AED and SAR track the dollar, the underlying demand for each, especially in regional trade and banking, can shift day to day. Liquidity, timing of payments, and currency settlement flows all play a role.
Money’s always moving between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, not just big-ticket trade, but everyday business. When one side’s busier than the other, demand for AED or SAR can shift a little. It’s not dramatic, but over time it adds up.
Both central banks aim to hold their pegs to the dollar, but they don’t always go about it the same way. Timing, tools, and pressure points vary. Now and then, that creates a small gap between the dirham and the riyal.
Whether you're moving money for personal reasons, making business payments, or funding a property or investment, even a fraction of a percent in the exchange rate can make a difference. Our service offers:
