Saudi Arabia (KSA) has one of the largest gold markets in the Arab world, centered around the gold souks of Riyadh, Jeddah, and Mecca — the gold rate is the same across all three, since it is set by the international spot price rather than locally. The most popular purities are 21K and 22K, widely used for bridal jewelry (mahr). The Saudi Riyal is pegged to the USD at 3.75, so gold prices in SAR rise and fall directly with international spot prices. Saudi Arabia ranks among the world's top gold jewelry consumers, with demand traditionally spiking during Ramadan, Eid al-Adha, and wedding season. VAT was raised to 15% in 2020 and applies to jewelry purchases, so factor that into the final price when buying. When you sell used gold back, you are paid the metal value for the weight and karat only — the making charge and the VAT you paid on purchase are not recovered.

Frequently asked questions
How is 21K gold price calculated in Saudi Arabia?
21K gold is 87.5% pure gold. To calculate the price per gram in SAR, 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 SAR/USD exchange rate. Prices update automatically every 10 minutes.
How often does DahabPulse update gold prices in Saudi Arabia?
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 SAR — it may differ slightly from dealer prices due to making charges and shop premiums.
How much is a gold bar today in Saudi Arabia?
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 SAR. 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 SAR. 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 Saudi Arabia?
Yes, Saudi Arabia applies 15% VAT on gold jewelry purchases — one of the highest VAT rates on gold in the GCC. The VAT applies to the full purchase price including making charges. When budgeting for a gold purchase in Saudi Arabia, add 15% to the displayed price.
What karat gold is used for mahr (bridal gift) in Saudi Arabia?
21K and 22K are the most common karats for mahr in Saudi Arabia. 21K offers a balance of purity and durability, while 22K is preferred for heavier traditional pieces. The mahr amount and karat are typically agreed as part of the marriage contract.
What is the used gold selling price in Saudi Arabia today?
When you sell used gold in Saudi Arabia, dealers pay the metal value for the weight and karat — the live per-gram rate in the table above, minus a dealer margin. The making charge and the 15% VAT you paid on purchase are not recovered, which is why the sell-back figure is always below the shop price you originally paid. Weigh the piece and check its karat stamp before you sell, and ask more than one dealer.
