What you actually get for 1,000 AED
Nobody converts at the mid-market rate. At 1 AED = 2.53 MAD, a perfect conversion of 1,000 AED would be 2,527 MAD. Here is what 6 services would really send, fee and exchange-rate margin included.

Typical pricing for a bank-funded transfer, not a live quote — promotional offers and payment method can change it. Check the provider before sending. Rows marked est. use the provider's general figure, and AED est. one measured for AED sends but not for MAD specifically. Neither is ranked cheapest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UAE Dirham to Moroccan Dirham exchange rate?
The AED to MAD exchange rate typically ranges between 2.7-2.8 MAD per 1 AED. Since the UAE Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar at 3.6725 AED = 1 USD (fixed since 1997), the AED/MAD rate primarily follows USD/MAD movements. This provides stable, predictable exchange rates for the large Moroccan community in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah sending remittances home. Our converter updates every 30 minutes with real mid-market rates.
How can Moroccans in UAE send money to Morocco?
The 100,000+ Moroccan expat community in UAE has excellent options: UAE exchange houses (Al Ansari Exchange, UAE Exchange, Wall Street Exchange, Lulu Exchange) offer highly competitive AED/MAD rates with fees around AED 15-30; banks (Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB) provide transfers with moderate fees; online services (Wise, Remitly, WorldRemit) often beat banks; UAE-Morocco specialized corridors through providers like Ria or MoneyGram. Exchange houses typically provide the best value for Dubai-Morocco transfers.
Why is AED to MAD rate relatively stable?
The AED/MAD rate stability comes from AED's peg to USD (3.6725 AED = 1 USD since 1997). The UAE maintains this peg through its oil revenues, diversified economy, and substantial foreign reserves. For Moroccan workers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, or other emirates, this stability is useful: you can reliably predict how many Moroccan dirhams you'll receive from your emirate dirham salary each month.
Do UAE exchange houses give better rates than banks?
Yes, significantly better. UAE exchange houses (Al Ansari, Lulu Exchange, UAE Exchange, Sharaf Exchange) typically charge 0.4-1% above mid-market for AED to MAD with fees around AED 20-25. UAE banks charge 2-3.5% margins plus AED 35-60 fees. For the Moroccan community working in construction, hospitality, retail, and services across UAE, exchange houses save 2-3% per transfer, which adds up on monthly family remittances.
When is the best time to transfer AED to MAD?
Since AED tracks USD via the peg, timing follows USD/MAD dynamics. Monitor US Federal Reserve decisions, UAE economic indicators, oil prices (affects UAE economy), Morocco's Bank Al-Maghrib policy, and Moroccan economic data. For regular monthly support to family in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, or Tangier, consistent transfers work well. For large transfers (property purchase, business investment), watch for dirham weakness periods to maximize MAD received per AED.
