Buying gold in the UAE: local context
The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725 AED per USD, so the gold price in AED moves almost exactly with the dollar price. Dubai is one of the world's busiest gold trading hubs, and the Gold Souk in Deira is famous for its jewellery shops. Retail prices in the UAE are usually displayed per gram for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold. The UAE applies 5% VAT, but investment gold of 99% purity or more is zero-rated, while jewellery carries VAT.
How the AED price is calculated
Live: spot $4,072.10 per oz × 3.6725 AED per USD ÷ 31.1035 = AED 480.81 per gram of 24K gold. Karat prices multiply this by karat ÷ 24.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the gold price in AED track the dollar price so closely?
The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725 for decades, so the AED price is essentially the dollar price × 3.6725.
Is there VAT on gold in Dubai?
The UAE's VAT rate is 5%. Investment-grade gold (99% purity or higher) is zero-rated, while jewellery is subject to VAT. Visitors may be able to reclaim VAT on eligible purchases through the tourist refund scheme.
Is this the price a jeweller will charge me?
No. This is the spot value of the metal itself. Jewellery and coins are sold with a premium over spot that covers manufacturing, design, dealer margin and, in many countries, sales tax or VAT. When you sell, buyers usually pay less than spot.
