Money exchanges can be found all over Dubai, offering good service and reasonable exchange rates, often better than the banks. You’ll find at least one in all major shopping malls and in some popular shopping districts (such as Karama or the Gold Souk). Exchange centres are usually open from 08:30 to 13:00, and again from 16:30 to 20:30.

Hotels will usually exchange money and travellers’ cheques at the standard (non-competitive) hotel rate. For more details about exchanges, refer to the table below, which lists some of the biggest names in town. Visit the website or call to find out the location of the nearest branch.
