How gold is priced in the UAE
In the UAE gold is priced per gram, and Dubai's gold souk is one of the busiest gold markets in the world. The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at about 3.6725, so dirham gold prices follow the international price very closely. Retail rates are set daily for 24, 22, 21 and 18 karat. Jewellery carries making charges, and VAT of 5% applies to jewellery, while investment-grade gold (99% pure or more) is treated differently. Check the shop's breakdown before you pay.
How this rate is calculated
Price per gram = gold spot price in US dollars per troy ounce ÷ 31.1035 × the AED exchange rate × purity. 24 karat is counted as 99.9% pure, 22 karat as 91.7%, 21 karat as 87.5% and 18 karat as 75%. A tola is 11.6638 grams.
