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 United Arab Emirates gold prices are calculated on this page
Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The AED/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2022 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every AED figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × AED/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all February 2022 prices on this page.
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).
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums.
