hello peeps - advice needed from all of you..please read on !

Ive managed to sell my property in Dubai

So, im travelling to Dubai this month to receive my share of the sale.

I will get a 177,000 AED "cash cheque" which i have been told i can convert to cash at any bank with my ID. I dont live in Dubai and dont have any bank accounts there so i have been assured this is ok.

Now, with 177,000 AED i need to get british sterling to take back to the UK. I need this in cash. Will the foreign currency exchanges in the malls help change this large amount of money??

Thanks

you probably wont be getting a very good rate for your money at the exchanges.

the current rate for the GBP/USD is 1.9678

which comes to about 7.24dhs per pound. I would check any bank with whom i have good relation to give me a good rate. Since a good amount of money is involved here.
