The UAE dirham is pegged to the US$ and is $1 = 3.67AED. There are money exchange counters at the airport and you can exchange money upon arrival. Check the commission and rate before exchanging. In general, you will find that the exchange rates in the UAE are very competive/fair, as many foreign currencies are regularly flowing through the country. It is easy to get foreign currency for travel to other countries. Also check the amount of money issued before you leave the money exchange.
