When do you need cash in the United Arab Emirates?

It’s perfectly possible to make most payments by card or contactless while travelling in the United Arab Emirates. However, having some AED cash on hand can still be very useful for certain expenses.

Some smaller shops and traditional businesses prefer cash payments, including cafés, restaurants, and grocery stores.

Certain vendors in the souks may also only accept cash. Make sure you bring some AED with you so you don’t miss out on a souvenir that catches your eye.

Some everyday services may also require cash payments, such as car washes, mobile phone repairs, or budget hairdressers.

Overall, we strongly recommend keeping some AED cash with you at all times to avoid inconvenient situations and maintain financial flexibility throughout your stay.
