This chart shows how the Saudi riyal compares to the UAE dirham in real time. Ideal if you're keeping an eye on the market before a transfer or just want to follow daily movements.
Here’s how the SAR to AED rate has moved over the last 12 months:
Although both the Saudi riyal and UAE dirham are tied closely to the US dollar, the rate between them does shift, especially when markets are unsettled or regional dynamics come into play.
Since both currencies are pegged to the dollar, changes from the US Federal Reserve affect them almost equally. But how Saudi and UAE money markets respond isn’t always identical, which can shift the rate slightly.
As major oil producers, both economies react to changes in global energy prices. When oil is strong, confidence across the Gulf tends to rise. When it’s shaky, the region can feel it, and the exchange rate sometimes reflects that.
Trade, investment and travel between Saudi Arabia and the UAE happen every day. A major project in Dubai, changes to tax policy or a rise in tourism can all affect money flowing between the two, which may nudge the exchange rate slightly.
If you're moving riyals into dirhams for personal support, real estate, or business, getting the best rate makes a real difference. We offer:
The rate doesn’t shift dramatically, but it can move slightly day to day, often in response to dollar demand or minor regional factors.
