Have a look at this guys you'll find it interesting. One US $= 3.67 dirhams, just divide the amount by 3.67 dirhams you get dollars.

Mileage in km not miles.
Converting local prices to US dollars does not indicate value (unless of course you are paying for the item at that location in US dollars).

A can of Coke may cost $1 in the US but $2 in Canada and $500 in Lower Slovia but there are thousands of factors involved in that price not a simple exchange to US dollars. Maybe in local purchasing power the $500 can of Coke actually costs the buyer the equivalent of $1 in their country.

It always surprises me when people do a straight currency exchange calculation and use that to say that things cost more elsewhere.
