Hello everyone,
I moved to Dubai last month since I got a new job offer from a company. I hail from India. UAE is unfamiliar to me. I've never traveled outside India before. But I'm getting used to it. Now I started to enjoy Dubai life.

I received a salary in advance. I'm super excited to send it to my family.
But I'm not sure how to send money to India.
I had used transferwise and Paypal to make international transfers when I was in India. Is it a good option.
Which is the cheapest option with competitive exchange rates?
When I searched about this on the Internet, I came to know about Lulu Exchange, Have you used their services before?
I would like to know your thoughts on it.

Thanks In advance

if you have an emirates id, then you can go to any money exchange office and send by western union. if you are on a visit visa, then you can send it by someone else's ID. it is cheap and safe.
