Is the gold rate in Dubai shown in AED?

Yes. The price is converted from the international benchmark into UAE dirhams (AED) using current exchange rates, then adjusted for approximate local duties and taxes.

Is gold cheaper in Dubai than in India?

It depends on the day, the karat, and the making charges. Dubai's base rate often sits closer to the international benchmark, but compare the total price including making charges and taxes on both sides before deciding.

Today's gold rate in Dubai, UAE

📍Gold is priced on a national benchmark, so the rate below is the same across the UAE — including at Dubai's own Deira Gold Souk, Dubai's well-known gold souk in Deira, one of the largest gold trading and retail hubs in the Middle East. The only thing that varies by jeweller (in Dubai or anywhere else) is the making charge added on top — always ask for that to be shown separately from the gold rate.

How It Works

This page shows the live gold price per gram in Dubai in UAE dirhams (AED), converted from the international LBMA benchmark and adjusted for approximate local duties and taxes. Dubai's Gold Souk in Deira is one of the largest gold trading areas in the Middle East, but the base rate you see here applies across the whole UAE.

How the AED rate is calculated

The international gold price per gram is converted into dirhams using the current USD-to-AED relationship and then adjusted by a small local premium that stands in for duties and taxes. This gives a practical estimate of what the metal costs locally before making charges.

Why a souk price still includes making charges

Shops in the Gold Souk usually quote a gold value plus a making charge that depends on the design. Simple bars and coins carry very small premiums, while detailed jewelry carries more. Comparing the gold value and making charge separately gives the clearest picture.

Examples

Pricing a 10g 22K bangle

If the 22K base rate shown above is AED 350/gram, 10 grams is 10 × 350 = AED 3,500 in gold value, before making charges.

Comparing bars and jewelry

A 10g 24K bar at AED 380/gram is about AED 3,800 in gold value with a small premium, while a 10g 22K bangle with a 10% making charge adds AED 350 on top of the gold value.

Common Use Cases

Checking today's base AED gold rate before visiting the Dubai Gold Souk
Comparing a souk quote with a mall jeweller's price
Estimating the value of gold jewelry or bars held in the UAE
Tracking gold prices alongside the AED for savings decisions

Tips

Ask whether the quoted price includes VAT, and whether the making charge is shown separately.
For investment gold, compare the premium over the base rate between sellers, since bars and coins usually carry much lower premiums than jewelry.
