As of 20 September 2025, the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) to Pakistani Rupee (PKR) exchange rate in the open market is around Rs 76.50 for buying and Rs 77.20 for selling.

Millions of Pakistanis working in the UAE keep an eye on this rate because even a small change can affect how much their families receive back home.
Must-Read Update
- Dirham buying rate: ~ Rs 76.50
- Dirham selling rate: ~ Rs 77.20
- Trend: Stable compared to last week but still under pressure due to dollar strength.
Why does the AED to PKR rate matter so much?
1. Remittances from overseas workers
Pakistani workers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other UAE cities send billions of dirhams back home every year. A higher AED to PKR rate means more rupees for their families.
2. Link with the US Dollar
The dirham is pegged to the US Dollar. When the dollar gets stronger worldwide, the dirham also rises against the rupee.
3. Impact on trade
Pakistan imports fuel, machinery, and goods from the United Arab Emirates. A stronger dirham makes these imports more expensive.
How does this affect everyday people in Pakistan?
- Families depending on remittances from the UAE benefit when the rate is high.
- Travelers going to Dubai or Abu Dhabi need to spend more rupees to buy dirhams for tickets, shopping, and living costs.
- Businesses importing from the UAE face higher bills, which can push up prices in local markets.
