AED to PKR rate today
The mid-market rate for sending money from the UAE to Pakistan, plus what's moving it — in plain language.
For the large Pakistani community across the Emirates, every rupee counts when sending money home. Here's the current mid-market AED to PKR rate, its recent trend, and plain-English updates on what's driving it — an honest baseline to compare against before you transfer money from the UAE to Pakistan.
30-day trend
▼ -0.2%It's down about 0.2% over the last month — a bit more favourable for sending right now.
What is the mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate is the “true” midpoint between the buy and sell price of a currency — the rate banks and providers see between themselves. It's the fairest reference point, but it's not the rate you'll actually get: every provider adds a margin and fees on top.
Think of it as the sticker price for Pakistani Rupee. When you send money to Pakistan, the rate you receive will be a little below this — and how much below is exactly what's worth comparing. Wasli shows you the mid-market number so you always have an honest baseline to judge any offer against.

Check the mid-market AED to PKR rate above — the honest midpoint before any provider adds a margin. It's your benchmark for everything else.

Compare the rate and the fee together
A great-looking rate with a high fixed fee can still be a poor deal, especially on smaller amounts. Look at both, and measure each provider's rate against the mid-market number.

Good to know: The Pakistani rupee has been volatile in recent years, so the AED to PKR rate can move noticeably from week to week. Watching the trend before you send can make a real difference on larger transfers.

Common questions
How much is 1 AED in PKR today?+
The live mid-market AED to PKR rate is shown at the top of this page and updates through the day. That's the fair midpoint reference — the amount a provider actually gives you when sending money from the UAE to Pakistan will be slightly lower once their margin and fees are added.
What is the cheapest way to send money from the UAE to Pakistan?+
There's no single cheapest provider all the time — it changes with the rate and fees each one sets. The reliable method is to compare the exchange rate AND the transfer fee together against the mid-market rate shown here. The smaller the gap from mid-market, the better the deal.
Why is the AED to PKR rate I'm offered lower than the mid-market rate?+
Providers add a margin on top of the mid-market rate, plus any fixed fee. That difference is how they earn money on the transfer. Comparing that gap between providers is the clearest way to see who is genuinely cheapest.
Is now a good time to send money to Pakistan?+
Rates move a little every day. The 30-day trend above shows the recent direction in plain terms. Small moves add up on larger transfers, so it can pay to check the trend before you send.
How long does a money transfer from the UAE to Pakistan take?+
It depends on the provider and method — some transfers to Pakistan arrive within minutes, others take a business day or two. Speed, rate, and fee all vary by provider, which is why it's worth comparing before you choose.
Does Wasli transfer my money to Pakistan?+
No. Wasli helps you understand exchange rates and compare providers. You send through the provider you choose — Wasli never holds or moves your funds.
