Here is an overview of today’s currency exchange rates in Dubai (UAE Dirham, AED) in comparison to USD, EUR, INR, Taka, Pakistani Rupee, and Russian Ruble based on the available data. (Note: “RUBAL” is assumed to mean Russian Ruble.) Check Gulf Independent news for daily Currency exchange updates.
Exchange rate context in Dubai / UAE
The UAE Dirham (AED) is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Specifically, 1 USD = 3.6725 AED.
It is because of this peg that fluctuations in AED relative to other currencies largely depend on how those other currencies move against USD.

Interpretation & Comparison
It is because AED is firmly pegged to USD that its value relative to USD remains very stable.
The variation with other currencies (EUR, INR, PKR, BDT, RUB) depends on how those currencies move against USD.
Compared to major currencies:
Euro (EUR) is stronger than AED in nominal terms (i.e., fewer AED per EUR), so 1 AED buys fewer Euros.
Indian Rupee (INR): AED is relatively stronger — 1 AED buys over 24 INR.
Pakistani Rupee (PKR): 1 AED buys ~ 76–77 PKR, reflecting the weaker state of PKR vs AED/USD.
Bangladeshi Taka (BDT): 1 AED buys only around 0.03 BDT (i.e., AED is far “stronger” relative to Taka).
Russian Ruble (RUB): AED → RUB is modest, but since the Ruble is weaker vs USD, AED buys some Rubles, but not very many.
