Reading an exchange rate
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar: 1 USD = 3.6725 AED, the rate the Central Bank of the UAE uses. That is why the USD rate never moves here, and currencies pegged to the dollar (like the Saudi riyal) barely move either.
The rates on this page are mid-market rates: halfway between buying and selling. Nobody gives you this rate over the counter. It is the fair yardstick to compare offers against.
A "zero fee" transfer can still cost you if the rate is poor. Work out what actually arrives: amount × their rate − fees. Then compare that number between two or three places.
Most rates move every day. The rate you are quoted is only fixed once you pay. For big amounts, check again on the day.
