The dirham is a stable currency backed by the UAE government's economic strength. The UAE has a diverse and rapidly growing economy, primarily driven by oil and gas production, tourism, and trade. As a result, the dirham has become a major currency in the Gulf region.

The exchange rate of the UAE Dirham is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of approximately ＄1 = 3.67 AED. This stable exchange rate helps facilitate international trade and investment, making the dirham a popular choice for businesses operating in the UAE.

One of the unique features of the dirham is its use in various forms of currency, including coins and banknotes. The UAE mints coins in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 fils and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 dirhams in banknotes.
