Send Money to UAE

What's the best method to use when sending money abroad to UAE? It's important to choose the right one because there can be a big difference in what you pay to convert your home currency into dirhams. The cheapest option is to choose a currency exchange broker rather than a high street bank, with this applying both to smaller regular overseas mortgage payments and larger one-off transactions. This is because the brokers tend to secure the competitive exchange rates and don't generally charge fees - unlike the banks!
