Al Khaliji France's UAE cheque measures 210 x 100 mm. That is the same footprint as Arab Bank's UAE cheque, and it happens to match A4 width exactly — which makes tray setup slightly easier than for the small cheques used elsewhere in the Gulf.

Same size, different layout
Sharing dimensions with Arab Bank does not mean sharing a layout. The two banks print their fields in different places on the same size of paper, so pick the layout that matches your bank rather than assuming the size is what matters. This is the most common reason a cheque comes out with the date in the payee position — right paper size, wrong bank's map.
Getting it printing
Add the account under Al Khaliji, create a cheque book with the Al Khaliji layout, and test on plain paper. At 210 mm the cheque sits in the tray much like a short sheet of A4, so feed is usually the easy part; check the vertical position first, since the 100 mm height still needs the guides set.
Amount formatting
Dirhams, two decimal places, millions in words. If you also hold an account in Qatar, note that Qatari cheques run much smaller at 175 x 80 mm.
