Frequently asked questions
How is 21K gold price calculated in Bahrain?
21K gold is 87.5% pure gold. To calculate the price per gram in BHD, DahabPulse multiplies the international spot price (USD/troy oz) by 87.5%, divides by 31.1 (grams per troy oz), then converts using the live BHD/USD exchange rate. Prices update automatically every 10 minutes.
How often does DahabPulse update gold prices in Bahrain?
Gold prices on DahabPulse update every 10 minutes using institutional-grade data from TwelveData. Exchange rates update daily. The price shown is the international spot rate converted to BHD — it may differ slightly from dealer prices due to making charges and shop premiums.
How much is a gold bar today in Bahrain?
Gold bars (ingots) are 24K (999) pure gold and are bought by the gram — common sizes are 1g, 5g, 10g, 50g, 100g, 1 ounce and 1 kilo. The "By bars" table above shows the live 24K metal value for each bar size in BHD. Physical bars carry a small premium over this metal value, which is higher on smaller bars and varies by brand (e.g. PAMP, Emirates Gold).
How do gold weight units convert — gram, tola, ounce, kilo?
1 kilo = 1,000 grams, 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams, and 1 tola = 11.664 grams. To price any weight, multiply the per-gram price for your karat (in the table above) by the number of grams — e.g. a 10-gram piece = per-gram price × 10.
Why is the gold price at shops higher than the price shown here?
The price here is the live international gold-content value per gram, converted to BHD. Jewelry shops add a making charge (أجر الصنعة) for craftsmanship, plus VAT where it applies, so the final shop price is higher. The raw gold rate itself is standardized — ask for the making charge separately when comparing shops.
