The gold rate in UAE is commonly shown per gram across different purity levels. 24K gold is the purest widely quoted form, while 22K, 21K and 18K gold are commonly used for jewellery. The price difference between each karat depends on gold purity, because lower karat gold contains a smaller proportion of pure gold mixed with other metals for strength and durability.

Gold Rate in Dubai
Dubai is one of the most popular gold shopping markets in the UAE. Buyers often check the Dubai gold rate before visiting jewellery shops because even a small change in per gram price can make a noticeable difference on larger purchases. The final price of jewellery in Dubai depends on live gold rate, karat, weight, making charges and VAT where applicable.
Gold Rate in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Other Emirates
Gold prices in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain generally follow the same market direction as Dubai. However, making charges and jeweller pricing can differ from store to store. Always compare both the per gram gold price and the making charges before buying jewellery.
How UAE Gold Rate is Calculated
The UAE gold rate is linked to international gold prices and is generally converted into AED per gram. The rate also depends on gold purity. For example, 24K gold represents a higher purity level than 22K, 21K or 18K gold.
- 24K gold: Purest commonly quoted gold rate, often used for coins and bars.
- 22K gold: Widely used for jewellery because it offers high purity with better durability.
- 21K gold: Common in regional jewellery markets and traditional designs.
- 18K gold: Often used in modern jewellery because it is stronger and more durable.
- Making charges: Added separately by jewellers for design and workmanship.
- VAT: May apply to jewellery purchases depending on the product and applicable UAE rules.
24K vs 22K vs 21K vs 18K Gold
Choosing the right gold karat depends on your purpose. If you are buying gold mainly for investment, 24K coins or bars may be preferred. If you are buying jewellery for regular use, 22K, 21K or 18K may be more practical because they are stronger and better suited for designs.
| Gold Type | Purity | Common Use | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold | 999 Purity | Coins, bars, investment gold | Investment-focused buyers |
| 22K Gold | 916 Purity | Jewellery | Traditional jewellery buyers |
| 21K Gold | 875 Purity | Jewellery | Regional jewellery designs |
| 18K Gold | 750 Purity | Modern jewellery | Durable daily-wear designs |
Gold Buying Tips in UAE
Before buying gold in the UAE, compare the live gold rate, check the karat, ask about making charges and review the final invoice carefully. A lower making charge can sometimes save more money than a small difference in the displayed gold rate.
- Check today’s gold rate before visiting a jewellery shop.
- Compare making charges between different jewellers.
- Ask for the final price breakdown, including gold value, making charges and VAT.
- Check gold karat and weight clearly on the invoice.
- For investment, compare coins and bars separately from jewellery.
- Do not compare only the per gram rate; always compare the final payable amount.
Why Gold Prices Change in UAE
Gold prices in UAE can rise or fall because of global gold demand, US dollar movement, inflation expectations, central bank decisions, geopolitical uncertainty and investor sentiment. Since the UAE dirham is linked to the US dollar, international gold prices and USD movement can directly influence local gold rates.
