Dubai and UAE gold prices
Dubai is one of the region’s best-known retail gold markets, but there is no single final shop price. The table converts the international spot benchmark into UAE dirhams and separates 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K metal values. A retailer’s quote can be higher because it may include fabrication, design, certification and tax.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain
The same global gold benchmark underpins prices across the Gulf. What changes locally is the currency conversion and the seller’s premium. The regional table makes those currency differences easy to compare without presenting an indicative calculation as a guaranteed retail quote.

- 22K and 21K are widely used for jewellery in Gulf markets.
