Can you use US dollars in Abu Dhabi?

Yes, you can use US dollars in the United Arab Emirates, where Abu Dhabi is located, but it's not common practice. Since Abu Dhabi's local currency is the dirham (AED), travelers are advised to exchange dollars into dirhams for everyday transactions. Although some high-end establishments, hotels, and tourist areas may accept dollars, the exchange rates might not be favorable, and it may not always be convenient to make change.
