UAE Dirham to Dollar Rate Today, September 12, 2026
The US dollar was maintained at approximately AED3.6725 against the UAE dirham.
The rate is supported by the UAE’s dollar-peg policy. The Central Bank of the UAE says its foreign-exchange operations are designed to maintain the stability of the dirham against the US dollar, with intervention rates around AED3.672 to AED3.673 per dollar.
The CBUAE also publishes daily exchange-rate data for VAT-related obligations, with the US dollar listed at AED3.6725 in its published tables.
Saudi Riyal to Dollar Rate Today, September 12, 2026
The US dollar was valued at SAR3.75 against the Saudi riyal.
The rate is the long-standing dollar parity maintained by the Saudi Central Bank. Its exchange rate data shows the US dollar at 3.750000 Saudi riyals in its September 2026 published quotations.
The fixed rate is particularly significant for Saudi businesses because it provides a stable dollar reference for international trade, imports, energy transactions, and cross-border payments.
Qatari Riyal to Dollar Rate Today, September 12, 2026
The US dollar was fixed at QAR3.64 against the Qatari riyal.
The Qatar Central Bank states that the riyal has been maintained at a fixed parity of QAR3.64 per US dollar since July 2001. Commercial banks can apply a small margin when dealing with the public.
The dollar peg gives companies operating in Qatar a relatively stable exchange-rate reference for international transactions and dollar-denominated obligations.
Kuwaiti Dinar to Dollar Rate Today, September 12, 2026
The US dollar was quoted at approximately KWD0.306650, equivalent to about 1 Kuwaiti dinar = $3.26, based on the latest Central Bank of Kuwait quotation available for September 10.
The Central Bank of Kuwait listed the dollar at 306.650 fils per unit of foreign currency against the dinar. Its exchange-rate system differs from the simple dollar pegs used by several other Gulf currencies.
The Kuwaiti dinar, therefore, has one of the highest nominal values among Gulf currencies, although the number itself does not indicate the relative strength of an economy.
Omani Rial to Dollar Rate Today, September 12, 2026
The US dollar was set at approximately OMR0.3845 against the Omani rial, meaning one Omani rial is worth about $2.60.
The Central Bank of Oman states that its USD-to-rial spot rate is based on a midpoint of 384.5 baizas per US dollar.
The Omani rial’s dollar relationship is important for businesses involved in energy, imports, and international payments, particularly because Oman remains heavily exposed to global commodity and trade flows.
Gulf Currencies and the US Dollar
The five currencies do not all operate under exactly the same exchange-rate system. The UAE dirham, Saudi riyal, and Qatari riyal are maintained at established dollar parities, while Oman also maintains a fixed relationship with the dollar. Kuwait uses a different framework based on a currency basket.
For that reason, daily changes in these currencies should not be interpreted in the same way as movements in freely floating currencies. The central-bank reference rate can also differ from the price offered by exchange houses or commercial banks because of margins, fees, and transaction conditions.
