One tends to avoid money exchanges that involve commission charges. However, a “commission free” tag doesn’t necessarily mean the best exchange rate. It is always advisable to pay the commission and get a good exchange rate for your money. Also, make sure you do a thorough calculation before taking a decision.
Thankfully, turning your foreign currency into UAE currency is no hassle in Dubai. Whether you are visiting Dubai on holiday, or living in Dubai and looking to send money back home at a good rate, Dubai has a list of trusted and reliable money exchanges for you to choose from.
