Gold Calculator UAE – AED/gram

Gold Rate in UAE Today

The UAE gold rate is updated three times daily — morning, afternoon, and evening — by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG), which tracks global spot prices from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and converts them to AED. The Dubai rate is widely considered the most transparent and competitive in the GCC.

Purity grades traded in UAE: 24K (99.9% pure) is the investment standard for bars and coins; 22K (91.6%) is popular for Indian-style jewellery; 21K (87.5%) is favoured for Arabic and Italian designs; 18K (75%) is common in contemporary jewellery. The rate shown is the base price per gram — making charges are additional.

Important: gold bullion (bars and coins) is VAT-exempt in the UAE. Gold jewellery attracts 5% VAT as a finished product. When comparing prices between jewellers, always clarify whether the quoted rate includes VAT and making charges, which typically range from AED 3–15/gram depending on design complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Three times daily: morning (around 9am GST), afternoon (1pm GST), and evening (6pm GST). DailyRates fetches each update directly from the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group.

24K gold is 99.9% pure, used for investment bars and coins, and carries no making charges. 22K is 91.6% pure and is the most popular grade for Indian-style jewellery in Dubai. 22K is more durable for everyday wear than 24K.

Dubai gold prices closely track the international spot price with very thin margins. No customs duty on gold imports and intense competition among Souk traders keeps prices competitive. The savings come from lower margins, not a different underlying price.

Making charges range from AED 3–8 per gram for machine-made pieces to AED 8–15 per gram for handcrafted items. In Dubai's Gold Souk, making charges are often negotiable — don't hesitate to ask for a discount, especially when buying multiple pieces.
