The United Arab Emirates dirham (; , sign: د.إ; code: AED; commonly abbreviated "DH" or "Dhs."), also known as simply the Emirati dirham, is the basic unit of the currency of the United Arab Emirates. The dirham consists of 100 . 

The dirham is issued by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates. Its value is fixed with the US dollar at a rate of 3.6725 dirhams to the dollar. It is believed that the UAE will maintain this dirham-dollar rate. 

The UAE dirham was introduced for the first time on May 19, 1973 as an alternative to the Bahraini dinar (issued by Bahrain in 1965  and was used by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi) and for the Qatar and Dubai riyals (issued by the Qatar and Dubai Monetary Council in 1966).
