Hi, I am planning to go to UAE in solo travelling. 

How much cash legally I can carry max ? Any idea? My expectation is around 20k AED. Can I carry them with me? 

The only reason I want to carry them is due to the 3.5% charge Markup on Forex. 

I already tried a lot of googling but was not able to find anything.

As per Abu Dhabi Airport website there’s no such limit but need to declare if exceeding AED 100,000.

“In line with international criteria and global best practices, when entering or exiting the UAE, you are required to declare cash, or any other financial instrument exceeding AED 100,000. There is no restriction on the amount of cash that you may carry. The declaration is for monitoring and statistical purposes.”

Yes, I am aware of this. UAE is chill with such limits. I want to know about the Limit from the Indian government at the Indian airport.

Forex card charges are too much higher.
I want to buy MacBook which is around 2L INR for which they charge a 3.5% markup and forex conversation fees which is approx 7000 INR.
So want to carry cash instead.
