It’s always handy to have some local currency before travelling. That way, you’ll be able to pay for essentials like food, drink and transportation – and have a little extra to spare for service tips.
Buy your UAE Dirham before jetting off and you’ll be ready to hit the ground running, without the added stress of having to search for an ATM when you arrive.
It’s also worth remembering that exchange rates can fluctuate. When you buy your UAE Dirham in advance, you know where you stand with regards to rates. If you withdraw cash while you are away, you may not get the same exchange rate – and may be charged costly withdrawal fees.
Use Click & Collect and arrange to pick up your Emirati Dirham as part of your weekly shop, either from a Tesco Travel Money bureau or selected customer service desks. Or, you could try our home delivery service – free on all online orders of £500 or more.
Exchange rates can change throughout the day and will vary depending on whether you are buying in store, online or over the phone.

No matter how you purchase your travel money, whether it be in store, online or over the phone, you will not be charged any card handling fee by us. However, regardless of your card type, your card provider may apply fees, e.g. cash advance fees or other fees, so please check with them before you purchase your travel money.
You can cancel a Click & Collect order any time prior to collection. We'll refund you with the full Sterling amount that you paid for your order, unless you cancel less than 24 hours before your collection date, in which case we'll charge a £10 late cancellation fee.
We are unable to refund any fees charged by your card issuer, so please contact them if you have any further queries.
Let us turn your unspent holiday money into Pounds. It couldn't be simpler.
Just pop into one of our in-store Travel Money Bureaux when you get back to the UK and we'll buy back your unwanted currency. We buy back in all the currencies we sell in most banknote values and also the Multi-currency Cash Passport™.
It doesn't matter where you bought your money, we'll still buy it back - even if you didn't buy it from a Tesco Travel Money Bureau.
If you find a better exchange rate advertised by another provider within three miles of your chosen Tesco Travel Money Bureau, on the same day, we'll match it.
Price Match only applies in store on a like-for-like basis on sell transactions and does not apply to any exchange rate advertised online or by phone. This is not available in conjunction with any other offer. We reserve the right to verify the rate you have found and the three mile distance (using an appropriate route planning tool).
