Gold is priced in OMR (Omani Rial), pegged to the USD at 2.60. The most popular purities are 22K and 21K. Oman has a significant expat population from South Asia who buy 22K gold both for personal use and remittance. The Omani government enforces strict purity standards and hallmarking on all gold sold. Demand peaks during Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr, and the cooler wedding months.

Frequently asked questions
How is 21K gold price calculated in Oman?
21K gold is 87.5% pure gold. To calculate the price per gram in OMR, 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 OMR/USD exchange rate. Prices update automatically every 10 minutes.
How often does DahabPulse update gold prices in Oman?
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 OMR — it may differ slightly from dealer prices due to making charges and shop premiums.
How much is a gold bar today in Oman?
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 OMR. 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 OMR. 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.
Is there VAT on gold in Oman?
Oman introduced 5% VAT in April 2021, which applies to gold jewelry purchases. Investment gold — bars and coins with 99%+ purity — is VAT-exempt. When buying jewelry, factor in the 5% VAT plus making charges. For investment-grade bullion, no VAT applies.
What makes Mutrah Souq gold market in Muscat special?
Mutrah Souq is one of the oldest gold markets in the Arabian Peninsula. Unlike modern malls, it stocks traditional Omani gold pieces — khanjar ornaments, tribal amulets, and silver-gilt jewelry — alongside standard 22K and 21K pieces. The raw gold price is fixed to the international rate, but making charges on traditional pieces are negotiable.
When does the gold price drop in Oman?
There is no Omani driver — the rial is pegged to the US dollar at 0.3845, so the Oman gold rate falls exactly when the international spot price falls, and for the same global reasons (a stronger dollar, rising real interest rates, easing geopolitical risk). Nobody can time it reliably. What you can do is check the live change against yesterday's close and the trailing 30-day high and low shown on this page, so you know whether today sits near the top or the bottom of the recent range before you buy.
