# RedotPay in the UAE: cards, Apple Pay and dirhams

RedotPay serves the UAE fully: you can open an account, get both cards, have the [physical card](/en/cards/physical-card/) delivered and add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay.

## The UAE at a glance

| | United Arab Emirates |
|---|---|
| Account | Available |
| Virtual card | Available, 10 USD |
| Physical card | Available, 100 USD. DHL Express in 3 to 10 days, or free standard mail in 5 to 30 days |
| Apple Pay | Available in the UAE |
| Google Pay | Available in the UAE |
| Sign-up country code | +971 |
| Dirhams | AED is one of the card's transaction currencies and appears in the app's fiat list. RedotPay names the UAE among its [P2P](/en/p2p/) countries |

## Practical points

- **Paying in dirhams** adds the 1.2% foreign-currency fee and the 1% conversion. See [fees](/en/fees-limits/).
- **Apple Pay and Google Pay** let you pay in shops with the [virtual card](/en/cards/virtual-vs-physical/) while the physical card is on its way. See [Apple Pay and Google Pay](/en/cards/mobile-wallets/).
- **Cash**: with the physical card at any ATM on the card's network. See [ATM withdrawals](/en/cards/atm-withdrawals/).
