How we calculate

  • Official rates published every business day at 6 pm UAE time by the Central Bank of the UAE come first.
  • For the CFA franc, the fixed euro parity is applied to the official euro rate.
  • Currencies the CBUAE does not publish (dalasi, Guinean franc, ouguiya, cedi, Congolese franc…) use a market rate updated several times a day.
  • All our prices are set and paid in dirhams (AED): conversions are indicative.
