How to Convert an AED to a GBP

The United Arab Emirates' currency, the dirham, generally is not accepted anywhere in Great Britain. Before traveling, be sure to exchange dirhams (AED) to British pounds sterling (GBP). It may be helpful to first learn the conversion rate between the two currencies. The rate changes daily, although often by an insignificant amount. Several online currency converters help travelers figure out how many GBP they will receive for a set amount of AED. The money can then be traded at exchange bureaus, which are often located in airports or in major metropolitan areas, and at banks with currency exchange services.
