Gold Market in UAE

Dubai's Gold Souk in Deira is one of the world's most iconic gold markets, with over 300 traders selling 24K, 22K, 21K, and 18K jewelry. Gold in the UAE is priced in AED and subject to 5% VAT on jewelry purchases. The AED is pegged to the USD at 3.67, so prices move directly with the international spot rate. When comparing shops, ask for the making charge separately — the raw gold price is standardized. All gold sold in the UAE must be hallmarked with the karat purity by law. Demand peaks during Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and wedding season (autumn and spring).

Frequently Asked Questions

21K gold is 87.5% pure gold. To calculate the price per gram in AED, 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 AED/USD exchange rate. Prices update automatically every 10 minutes.

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 AED — it may differ slightly from dealer prices due to making charges and shop premiums.

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 AED. 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).

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.

The price here is the live international gold-content value per gram, converted to AED. 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.

Yes, the UAE applies 5% VAT on gold jewelry purchases. The raw gold price is VAT-exempt, but making charges are subject to VAT. When comparing shops, ask for the making charge separately — the base gold price is standardized across all UAE dealers.

22K and 21K are the most popular karats in Dubai's Gold Souk. 22K (91.7% purity) is favored for Indian-style jewelry, while 21K (87.5% purity) is common for Arab-style pieces. 18K is popular for diamond-set jewelry. 24K pure gold is also sold as investment bars and coins.
