The UAE has announced its fuel prices for November 2026, with rates falling across all fuel categories compared to October.
The latest reduction marks a reversal after three consecutive months of rising fuel prices. The previous decline in fuel prices came in July, following four consecutive months of increases amid the US-Iran war.
The UAE’s Ministry of Energy-approved fuel prices are determined monthly based on the average global oil price, after adding distribution companies’ operating costs.

Changes in petrol prices can affect how much UAE households spend each month, as fuel is a regular expense for many families. Even small increases can add up over time, putting additional pressure on household budgets and leaving motorists with more to spend on filling up their vehicles.
The UAE last saw record-breaking fuel rates in 2022 following the Russia-Ukraine war, when prices crossed Dh4 per litre for the first time.
