Why does the Dirham to PKR rate change?
The dirham has been fixed to the US dollar at 3.6725 AED per 1 USD since 1997. So the Dirham to PKR rate moves almost entirely with the dollar to rupee rate: when the rupee weakens against the dollar, one dirham buys more rupees, and the other way round. Pakistan's inflation, remittance inflows and State Bank of Pakistan policy all feed into that.
Where can I exchange dirhams in Pakistan?
Use a bank or a licensed exchange company. Rates differ from one company to the next, so compare before you change a large amount. FindMyExchange lists live dirham buying and selling rates from exchange company branches across Pakistan.
How much cash can I carry from Pakistan to Dubai?
- Leaving Pakistan: the State Bank of Pakistan allows adults to take foreign currency worth up to USD 5,000 per trip and USD 30,000 a year. For children under 18 the limits are USD 2,500 per trip and USD 15,000 a year.
- Entering the UAE: you must declare cash and valuables worth more than AED 60,000 to UAE customs, online through the Afseh service or at the airport.
Limits can change, so check with the State Bank of Pakistan and UAE customs before you travel with a large amount.

A short history of the dirham
The UAE Dirham was introduced on 19 May 1973, replacing the Qatar and Dubai riyal used in most of the emirates. The name comes from the Greek "drachma", and the first dirham banknotes were issued the same year.
The Pakistani rupee replaced the Indian rupee after independence in 1947. It was tied to the British pound until 1982, when Pakistan moved to a managed float, and today its rate is set by the market.
