UAE Dirham Banknotes – Modern Currency Reflecting Emirati Heritage
The UAE Dirham (AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates, and its banknotes are a vibrant blend of modern security technology and cultural symbolism. Issued by the Central Bank of the UAE, these banknotes are widely trusted across the Middle East and recognized globally for their quality and authenticity.
UAE Dirham banknotes are available in several denominations: AED 5, AED 10, AED 20, AED 50, AED 100, AED 200, AED 500, and AED 1,000. Each note features iconic imagery that reflects the heritage, architecture, and economic strength of the UAE—such as mosques, traditional forts, falcons, and the country’s modern infrastructure.
Made of high-quality cotton paper or polymer, newer banknotes are equipped with advanced security features including watermarks, see-through registers, color-shifting inks, tactile markings for the visually impaired, and holographic threads to prevent counterfeiting.
With the AED pegged to the US Dollar, UAE banknotes are a stable and reliable form of currency used extensively for trade, travel, investment, and tourism in the region.
