Rate Info
About This Reference Rate
Because both currencies are separately pegged to the dollar rather than to each other, this rate stays remarkably steady over time, only shifting on the rare occasion either peg is adjusted. The figure shown is a recent market reference; providers add their own margin, so confirm the live rate before an actual transaction. This page is offered as a general reference and isn't financial advice. Exchange rates move throughout the trading day, so treat this figure as a starting point and confirm the live rate with your bank or exchange provider before converting.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a recent AWG to AED exchange rate?
About 2.0517 dirhams per florin at a recent market reference. Since both currencies are dollar-pegged, this rate barely moves.
How much is 100 AWG in dirhams?
100 florins converts to about 205 dirhams at the rate shown on this page.
How much is 1,000 AED in Aruban florins?
1,000 dirhams comes to roughly 487 florins at the reference rate used here.
Why is this exchange rate so stable?
Both the florin and the dirham are fixed to the US dollar rather than floating freely, so their rate against each other only changes if one of the two pegs is adjusted, which happens rarely.
Is the Aruban florin pegged to the dollar?
Yes. The florin has been pegged to the US dollar at roughly 1.79 to 1.80 florins per dollar since 1986, giving Aruba's small tourism-driven economy currency stability.
Why is the UAE dirham pegged to the US dollar?
The UAE fixed its dirham to the dollar in 1997 to provide currency stability for its oil-driven, trade-heavy economy, making pricing and international contracts more predictable.
What is Aruba's economy based on?
Tourism and petroleum transshipment are the two pillars of Aruba's economy, with tourism accounting for the large majority of GDP and employment on the island.
Is it easy to exchange florins for dirhams directly?
Not always. Because this is a low-volume pair, it's often easier to convert through US dollars first, either at a bank or exchange counter, rather than finding a direct AWG to AED exchange service.
Will the AWG to AED rate ever change significantly?
Only if Aruba or the UAE adjusts its currency peg to the dollar, which are infrequent policy decisions rather than routine market movements.
