The United Arab Emirates gold market
Dubai is one of the world's most trusted retail gold hubs, with Deira Gold Souk and the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange driving liquidity. Prices are quoted per gram across 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K purities. UAE applies a 5% VAT on gold jewellery (with exemptions for investment-grade bullion ≥99.5% purity), so investment bars trade closer to spot than jewellery does. The Dubai Gold Rate is widely tracked across the GCC.

How this August 14, 1997 United Arab Emirates price is calculated
International benchmark. The XAU/USD spot price for August 14, 1997 comes from gold-api.com's historical archive — the London PM-fix benchmark, which is the reference used by central banks and bullion dealers globally. On this date, that price was $326.20/oz.
Currency conversion. The AED/USD exchange rate for the same date comes from exchangerate-api.com. We apply that day's exact rate (—) to the USD price — not a year-average or month-end approximation. This makes the د.إ figure on this page accurate to the trading session.
Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417). We never compound rounding errors by going through intermediate units.
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in United Arab Emirates, add the country-specific levies described in the “United Arab Emirates gold market” section above. The retail rate at a jeweller in United Arab Emirates on August 14, 1997 would have been a few percent above this number once those costs are included.
