Gold in the United Arab Emirates is quoted in dirhams (AED) and is a cornerstone of the economy. Dubai, the “City of Gold”, is one of the world’s great gold-trading hubs, home to the famous Gold Souk and a deep, competitive jewelry market.
Because the dirham is pegged to the US dollar, UAE gold prices track the international benchmark closely. The table below shows the live UAE gold rate by karat and weight, converted at the current exchange rate.
Gold is priced nationally, so the United Arab Emirates rate shown above applies across all major cities — including:
The UAE applies 5% VAT, though investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher is zero-rated. Dubai’s Gold Souk and modern malls offer everything from 24K bars to intricate 22K jewelry, with prices updated through the day and quoted per gram.
Because the AED is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate, the local gold price moves almost entirely with the international dollar price rather than with currency swings — keeping Dubai’s rates closely tied to the global benchmark.
Dubai’s Gold Souk, low taxes, and status as a global trading hub make it one of the best-known places in the world to buy gold, drawing tourists and traders alike.
Dubai often has competitive gold prices thanks to low import duties and intense dealer competition, though you still pay making charges on jewelry.
22K and 21K are popular for jewelry in the UAE, alongside 24K for investment and bullion.
The live gold rate in United Arab Emirates is shown above in AED, with 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K prices per gram and local units, refreshed through the trading day.
It is the international spot price (US dollars per troy ounce) converted into AED at the live exchange rate, then divided by weight and adjusted for karat purity.
Two forces move it: the global gold price and the AED exchange rate. On top of that benchmark, jewelers add making charges and any local taxes or duties.
