Currency

Legal tender in Dubai is the UAE dirham (AED or Dh). There are 100 fils in a dirham and it’s pegged to the US dollar at 3.67 Dh.

Notes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 Dh. There are 1 dirham and 50, 25 and 10 fil coins.
Changing Money

There are banks and bureaux de change at the airport and all over the city where foreign currency can be exchanged.
Banks

Numerous international banks have branches in the city (HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Citibank etc.). Banks usually close around midday and are shut on Fridays.
Credit Cards

MasterCard, Visa and American express are accepted at most hotels, restaurants and shops in Dubai.
ATM’s

ATM’s are common in Dubai and found at many hotels, shopping malls and most banks. In December 2006 the Roads and Transport Authority began the construction of five hundred hi-tech bus shelters incorporating ATMs and vending machines.
Tipping

Many hotels and restaurants automatically add a service charge to the bill, although it’s highly unlikely to end up in the pocket of your waiter or maid. If you’ve received good service try and leave them some cash.
