Gold price inUAE today

This page shows the underlying spot-derived metal value in dirhams. UAE jewellery retailers commonly add making charges, design or stone costs and margin separately. Bars and coins can carry fabrication, certification, packaging and distribution premiums.

Retail jewellery in Dubai and across the UAE is commonly compared per gram. The tola, equal to 11.6638 grams, remains familiar to many buyers from South Asian markets. Use the same karat and unit when comparing shop quotes.

Qualifying investment-grade precious metals can be zero-rated when they meet the UAE purity and tradability conditions, including a purity of at least 99% for the relevant investment metal. Jewellery, making charges and non-qualifying products can receive different VAT treatment.

24K is the fine-gold and bullion reference. 22K is about 91.7% gold and is common in jewellery, while 18K is 75% gold and is often used in lighter or stone-set designs. Purity directly changes the raw gold value.

The spot-derived AED benchmark is broadly shared, but the final price varies by shop, design, making charge, promotion, product availability and buyback policy. Ask for the gold value and making charge to be shown separately.

The page refreshes its spot and currency references approximately every three minutes while the tab is visible, then refreshes once when you return. The timestamp beside the live rate shows the latest successful update.

24K bars and coins are common for investment, while 22K and 18K jewellery serve different design and durability preferences. Check the purity mark, invoice, weight excluding stones, maker or refinery and the retailer's exchange or buyback terms.

AED per gram is the clearest reference for most UAE jewellery and small bullion purchases. AED per tola is useful when a retailer quotes traditional weights. Compare the metal rate separately from workmanship and other charges.
